This station was called a flag stop—a passenger would step out and flag down the train to catch a ride.The railroad was owned by the Southern Railway at this time and was operated as a steam railroad. Wires were installed in 1912 when the line became the W & OD Railway and was electrified.The camera that took this photo was pointed west with what is now Hunter Mill Road behind the shelter. The white piece of equipment on the far side of the road is a mail crane, which let the stationmaster hoist up a mailbag to where it could be snatched up as the trained passed.| HM Number | HM1NNP |
