I'm trying to picture where the station was located in Campville. I'm 
assuming it was on Depot Street, but I can't tell from the satellite view 
(see the attached image). There is a concrete telephone booth near where 
Depot Street meets the tracks. Where was the station in relation to Depot 
Street?
