Farmersville Station, NY: Lost/B&O/BR&P Depot

(Satellite)


Note the water tower behind the depot. The depot was between the tracks and Elton Road.
The Buffalo Rochester and Pittsburgh Railway Company updated
Farmersville circa 1910.

The topo map doesn't help.

This aerial photo also did not help. I guess it was already gone.

Given that it was gone before the 1960s, I got the oldest map I could find. Back then the railroad was labelled BR&P instead of B&O. It looks like it was a little closer to Church Street than Back Road. It looks like the slab foundation and platform are still there in the aerial photo.
