Both the Degraff and Holloway stations are on this site. Half of the Degraff station was torn down and the other half was moved to this farm and became a house. It is virtually unrecognizable as a depot now. Apparently the property was formerly owned by a GN section foreman who moved the building to the property originally. 45.363423,-95.625182 |
