| Description: | Just north of Bradbury is as far as where the last glacier made it. Therefore there was a significant hill on the line north of there that often required trains to double the hill. A depot was built here in 1892, but burned on March 21st, 1908. In 1909 a depot converted from a car body was used to replaced it. This also doubled as the freight house. |
