The Peoria, Decatur & Evansville Railway
| Name: | Hovey, Indiana(elevation 390') |
| Mile Post: | 216.5 |
| Previous Station: | Edgewater |
| Next Station: | Hartlein |
| Description: | As late as 1944, there was a siding located here on the "South" side of the main. South of the siding was a large structure with a concrete base. South of the road that paralleled the tracks was a farm, which today would be under the interstate. It seems likely that Hovey had a grain elevator at one time. Though clearly in 1928, there was a depot here located north of tracks at the west switch. But there is no evidence of the depot in a 1938 aerial view. 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. |
