I was out on the Radnor Trail (ex P&W Strafford Branch) the other night and saw several concrete structures that look like the remains of stations. There was clearly a station at Conestoga Rd, and what looked like the remains of a station at W Wayne Ave. Are these (along with Strafford) the only station locations on the line, or are there others that have since vanished?

There were more remains someplace in the middle (I forget where), but these were different. On each side of the ROW there were four concrete posts arranged in a square, with horizontal pieces connecting all four (in a square shape). I think it was all one piece of concrete, but I don't remember. None of the other stations had horizontal pieces - could this have been the support for a utility crossing or something?
