Thanks for this. I think the “stop” between Marsland and Crawford is Horseshoe Curve, which is on Crawford Hill after the Belmont Tunnel. I believe that there was a picnic spot there in the early days and trains would stop on request.

Rupert:

 

My timetables are all from the early '50s, but I found this listing on eBay for a 1967 timetable.  If you enlarge the photos and squint a little bit, I think you can see that Marsland is still listed as a stop, but Belmont is not.

My thanks to all who replied, and for the story about it. Does anyone have a timetable for that period who can advise if Belmont and Marsland (between Hemingford and Crawford) were still shown at that time?
