Clarksville Station

Like many Dominion Atlantic stations, Clarksville has been moved, cut apart and converted to a private residence and summer cottage. All that remained at Clarksville was a station sign board that was mostly likely a flag stop.

First Station 189x to Present

The station was built under the Midland Railway sometime between 1896 & 1905 before the DAR took over in 1905. The station was on the south side of the tracks. The station had two parts passenger service on the east end and freight on the west. The station was adjustment to the house there in Clarksville which was on the north side of the tracks. When freight and passenger service was no longer offered in Clarksville the station was sold and cut into two, the freight end being moved up the road eastwards onto the hill where it still currently lives as a cottage, with the hardwood floors from the passenger waiting room. The other half is reported to still be around but it's not entirely sure where it's current home is possible just west of it's original location.
