Scott station is located across the street from
the K-Mart exit on Montour Run Road. (I need to get the GPS coordinates).
There is a bridge and existing track still at the location. The bridge has
been damaged and is full of debris from Hurricane Ivan. On the far side of
the creek the underlying soil has been eroded completely away by the flood
and only the tracks exist above the creek.

We did some further exploration of
the area and found a lot of Montour remains. Track, switches, ties and what
have you. I've included the coordinates of the sites we visited. More could
be found in this area. We only looked around for about 1/2 hour to find the
images shown below. Most of the trackage is being buried over time. It would
be difficult to spot them in the summer. Of course the bridge would be easy
to find. According to the track plan shown above there could be much more
trackage about. Many of the buildings may have been erected over the
existing track and would have been removed. We also saw an old building
which we didn't think part of the station but did not investigate further.
There is also a pile of ties sitting near the bridge.
If you explore the area and find more items of interest please sent them
and I'll post them here on the page. If you have old stories when the
station was operational and what industries they served please let me know,
we'll post that as well. We accessed the area by parking behind the Wicks
Furniture building. There are some parking spots behind there that open to
the field where the remains of the Montour are.
