Still too hot to hit the attic even with the roof fans going full tilt. I have attached an 1882 NYS&W broadside and an 1883 NYS&W broadside which is one of the earliest showing the linen thru to Stroudsburg and Gravel Place. I have never seen a photo of the NYS&W passenger station in Stroudsburg other that the freight station and the WB&E stations. I have one foldout bird's eye view of Stroudsburg that just shows the rear roof of the NYS&W station across form the freight house. I have enclosed a glass plate shot of the Langon station that was in the Erie glass plate collection when a Syracuse Univ.
As for Columbia Jct, later Delaware Jct, when I was writing the History of the Blairstown Railway in 1980, I made a detailed search of the original copies of the Blairstown Press before they were digitized. There was a small blurb of the Columbia Jct being a log bench near the Columbia Lake power plant. You have to realize that during the late 1800s these back country lines were a public accommodation and would stop or drop off passengers on notice not at regular stops. I don't have access to my other employee timetables, but another instance was Howey which was a flagstop on notice for the Howey family. They had a nice enclosed shelter.
As for Paulina, the old family house was right next to the ROW with the back porch being 23 ft from the centerline of the ROW. The house preceded the railroad by a number of years and in fact cut the house from the field with the embankment. The railroad was to have built an underpass access which was never done. A de facto access was made to the field. The platform and sign 'Paulina' was located across the tracks from the house at the grade crossing'

Would you know when Delaware Junction became a flagstop? My April 5, 1885 NYS&W PTT does not list it as one. So, the Warrington station lasted until 1907 ! This should have allowed for adequate photos of it to have been taken, in the same quantities of most other stations at the time -- of which most are available somewhere, to be viewed.

On the subject of Langdon listed (in 1921) as a station stop, not only do none of my NYS&W - WB&E PTT's during that period show anything of Langdon being a station stop, but no others do up through May 15, 1935 when passenger service was discontinued. It appears, by the company timetables, that that the branch had been freight only -- with Langdon not even being shown. All passenger service shown in NYS&W- WB&E PTT"S show only through service from Stroudsburg to Plains, with no branch line service. Not saying there was no passenger service to Langdon, but none of the timetables show it.if that helps. Then too, as much of the passenger service that did run on the WB&E was as mixed trains, passenger service on the branch to Langdon may have been "as available" with no set times or days, and not advertised. .

As a follow-up, Columbia Jct was later called Delaware Jct. Warrington station was a handsome station blt in 1877 and was razed in1907 to rebuild the Hainesburg station. Warrington got a platform. Columbia Jct, later Delaware Jct was a flagstop with a log bench neat the Columbia Lake power house. Kalarama station was lost in 1891 during its ill-fated move. It was 14x28 ft with a living room and freight room. It was replaced by a platform.

I can't find the message but there was a question this morning on Langon and one with another spelling. In the 1921 employees' rulebook in Harold Fredericks WB&E book, Langon was listed as a station stop as well as for water and coal. This was the only spelling I found.

Columbia Jct was the location where the Delaware Br split from the main. It was never a formal stop and was stop maybe not even a platform a short distance from Warrington. Warrington’s station was razed around 1900 and the wood was used for the rebuild if the Hainesburg station. Kalarama was a 2 storey building that was to be moved to Vails but fell off the track when being moved and fell into the Kill. A platform replaced it in Kalarama. Paulina was a formal stop listed on the june 1883 broadside I have. On a 1905 inspection report a platform and sign were listed. Will see if I can find anything more. Records are in the oven like attic
