Around the turn of the century, a 24 foot extension was added to the Leonardsville station . Today, all that remains is the addition.

Looking south at the station at Bridgewater. The DL&W tracks were to the left, and the UVRR tracks were to the right. The two roads shared the cost of construction and operation of the Bridgewater station.

The station 100 years later. The tracks are gone, but the station still stands. The station currently houses the Bridgewater Historical Society.

The DL&W side of the station. The tracks on this side were pulled up just a few years ago, while the UVRR rails were pulled up in 1960.

Weeds have quickly overgrown the DL&W platform.

The Bridgewater station is now an antiques store. While the UVRR rails are gone, the ties are still present, though larlgely hidden by the grass.
