Old (1884) Station Names on the Bristol Line, Abingdon to Bristol

[NW Mailing List]

Abe

This is what I have that were published stations or locations not 
normally seen.  That Hendrick's is for some reason is tripping 
something.  Like Hendrick's Store.

The man that is the expert in this area is Bob Fields.  I haven't seen a 
recent post from Bob.
