AM&O RR - Question about Allegheny Station

[NW Mailing List]

Shawsville was a replacement depot, seem to recall the first one burned, or Shawsville was deemed important enough to warrant the construction of the 1914 standard brick first class combination station. The replacement station was sold or leased during the steam era to a cooperative and painted with the Purina Chows red and white squares. That was closed by the late 1970s and the place was set on fire about October/November 1979 and torn down after that.

There is a 1891 drawing in the archives that shows a proposed station site across from the cemetery. This would be about the location of the current Shawsville Middle school.

I'm wondering where exactly the Alleghany Station was situated? I am attaching two auction photos which show the station in an 1870s stereoview by E.& H.T. Anthony Company. This New York stereoview manufacturer sent photographers throughout western Virginia and produced several photo sets including scenes along the AM&O, Blue Ridge Springs, and so on. I'm attaching two images of the stereoview for everyone to see what I'm talking about.
