Re: (erielack) Campville (NY) station

Camplville was an important shipping point for livestock back around 1880, 
which accounts for the substantial station. There were extensive stock pens 
there. Livestock was driven up from Northern Pennsylvania and loaded on the 
Erie at Campville. There was a bridge across the Susquehanna back then. It 
may be that when the DL&W extension to Buffalo the picked up some of that 
business.

The photo you saw is probably from the Smithsonian Collection. I beleive 
that after the "Next Stop Will Be" books were printed the glass plate negs 
went there.

At any rate, the Tioga County Historical used a photo of the Campville 
Station in a local histry they printed and the copy came from the 
Smithsonian.  Bill Caloroso in Nichols can fill you in on the details and 
probably can get you a copy. His phone number is 607-699-3172.

In any case, the Tioga County Hist Soc will have a photo you can examine.
