Site of State Line Station. Digital picture by Kenyon F. Karl on July 15, 1998.
The historic name of this railroad station was State Line. The width of the railroad bed suggests that sheer operational considerations dictated a siding at this point so that trains could pass each other on the single-track railroad. Accordingly a telegrapher was required at this remote location to pass train orders from the dispatcher to the train crews. This telegrapher in turn would also handle whatever passenger train tickets and freight shipments might be required from the rural residents of the area.
A spot check made on May 19, 1998 suggests that the trail is open and usable northwest of this point. A quick trail check on July 24, 2000 suggest that this rail-trail is open southeast of State Line Station and is used with some frequency.
Several cars can be parked on the paved access roads adjacent to
the site of the station without interfering with other users of
these roads. Several additional cars can be parked on the wide
railroad bed if necessary.
