| Mile Post: | 6.2 |
| Previous Station: | Rogers |
| Next Station: | End of the line for the PD&E. |
| Description: | The New Harmony branch was constructed by the PD&E because the people of that town voted to give the PD&E the money to build a line from Stewartsville. This came about because originally New Harmony had been slated to be on the main line when the projected terminus was Mount Vernon, Indiana. The branch was 6 miles long and in later years had a speed restriction of 5 mph. There was a six car run-around located at New Harmony where the train crew could run around the cars to service a grain elevator. Still located at New Harmony is part of the original depot that now serves as a private business. |
