I'm wondering if anyone on the list can shed light about a coaling station at Cleveland, Iowa. There is no plan shown in the CD distributed by the BRHS on Coaling Stations.
Cleveland was near present-day Shannon, located 1.1 miles east of Lucas according to old timetables. It is eliminated from the timetable in 1890, and a new station is established at East Cleveland, about another mile further east. Then a station re-using
the name of Cleveland is established in the late 1890's about 2.3 miles west of Lucas.
I have established that East Cleveland (later named Troy) was NOT a re-naming of Cleveland, but was at a different location another mile further east, at the west end of Whitebreast Hill, at the original end of double track just west of original Bridge
342A (now Bridge 340.75) over Whitebreast Creek. The fact that Cleveland was re-used as a station name later in the decade, but west of Lucas, makes me think that the original Cleveland (and any coal loading facilities) was removed about 1890.
Any information would be appreciated.
