| Description: | Founded in 1881, the town of Griffin still has its depot. It is now a gas station/cafe. The service was very friendly when I visited. In 2005, the Browns, Grayville and Poseyville Railway had plans to put the rail back in between Browns and Poseyville. However, as of nothing has come of it. |
