The Peoria, Decatur & Evansville Railway
| Name: | Hampton, Hampton Station, or Dunn, Illinois(elevation 652') |
| Mile Post: | 99.6 |
| Previous Station: | Bethany |
| Next Station: | Sullivan |
| Description: | Originally Hampton Station, probably named after Jones Hampton. A 1875 map shows Hampton Station at present day Dunn with Dunn some distance to the south. Dunn was at one time a milk stop for passenger trains. However, if you stand in the middle of what is left of Dunn today you could look around and not see a single cow* It was removed from the list of stations sometime between 1932 and 1936. A 2011 trip by Dunn saw a cow there, perhaps in response to this page? Now if we can only get the passenger and milk stop back. |
