South Orchard was primarily an agricultural stop, while Fowl River provided both outbound loads as well as the
location for the water tower servicing northbound trains.
The image to the right shows the station as it appeared in 1915. The timetable places the stop only 1/2 mile north of
Fowl River's station and water tower. If that distance is correct, then the second of these possible locations would
be more accurate.
In the large area image at left, there are two possible locations for the station. The first possible location would
be in the cluster of farming tracts seen at the top of the image. The second location is at the far bottom of the
image.
