Camp Station on the Highland Main

  by Engineer Spike
 
I was reading about a station on the Highland called Camp Station. There is a former Methodist camp meeting grounds on Camp Street, Plainville. That segment of Camp Street runs along the Bristol-Plainville town line. The camp is on the Plainville side of the street.

There was a discussion about it on a group about local history. I was wondering if anyone had seen an ETT which lists its location. Apparently trains stopped there at times related with the meetings.

According to Tyler City Station, it was about a mile west of the Plainville station, at the foot of Wooster St.
