 Mile Post:  235.0
 Previous Station:  Wendel
 Next Station:  Armstrong
 Description:  In 1881, Abner N. Martin and wife deeded a track of land for a depot and siding to be constructed here.  The depot was listed on the south side of the main just west of the trestle in 1899 and 1916 but on the east side of the trestle in 1928. Whether this was the same depot or a new one is a mystery.  Its location though, suggests the latter.
