Here is a look at the Enderlin station in the late 1950's. Even after the Erie abandoned the shortcut, the few miles from Vails Gate Junction to Enderlin were kept to serve Cornwall Coal and Supply, who acquired the station. The building remained preserved incredibly well after the railroad left with the station sign intact. The latest reference to this small section of trackage is from the year 1963 when the clearance of the NYO&W bridge located north of there is listed in the EL timetable. Sometime after that, the track was removed back to Vails Gate Junction, only to be re-installed shortly after due to the opening of Tarkett facility in Vails Gate. The station contented to stand until 2013 when it suffered a small fire and was torn down a year after. Cornwall Coal and Supply continues to operate at the same location and the trackage to Tarkett remains silent today. Joyce Sternitzke photo.
