The people at Pawnee think the train don’t stop at Lapland, but it does stop and takes on and lets off passengers. Last Monday morning a man came to Penobscot west of here (Lapland) a couple of miles to go east. He had an hour to wait so he thought he would walk up to Lapland. He was told not to come to Lapland as the train did not stop there. The man came, however, and the train did stop as it does every day.

There has been some gravel hauled on the Penobscot & Browns Valley gravel road. Let the good work go on.
Dave Fullenwider, local historian, said that the Penobscot Station was where Lee Simpson's home was east of Browns Valley. He said it used to be much larger and had a hotel/store for people getting off the rain. Thought maybe it might have been named for Penobscot Indians but can’t find proof. I thought perhaps the Penobscot River out west but no proof.
