Ironto is in Montgomery Co., VA at MP V266.3 on the Whitethorne District main.
ebenzer is south of knoxville. you might call it west knoxville. guess this would be the central div. bessemer is south of birmingham, maybe 10 miles. at the end of the double track on the AGS.
Flatrock is on the pokey just west of bluefield yard
Locust Grove is on the H line Georgia Division about 35 miles south of Atlanta and north of Macon. State line could be about anywhere. The H line on the Georgia and Tennessee line has one. There was a Flat Rock Creek on the old M line just outside Columbus a mile or so north of Myers.
flat rock could also be the tunnel on the Ex reading Harrisburg Main line in Lower Merion Twp. Montgomery Co. Pa. It is a single track tunnel, just like its sister in Phoenixville Montgomery Co. Pa. But ill probably go with Badhouse's Answer due to the fact that the Pokey is more "well" known as an NS line.
Oh yeah don't forget the yard in Michigan the ol GTW interchange yard
So far so good Guys! Thanks.
Now all we need is:
Vine Creek
Cherokee
Sumner
Raber

Cherokee is in Northern SC on the Washington- Atl main mp 432.8
There is a intermediate signal Sumner Siding between Reid and North Kannapolis on the Washington to Atl main. I think it is mp 341.2 off the top of my head.
There is also Flat Rock just below Wiborg in McCreary Co KY and State Line at the KY-TN line.
Nicely done so far my Friends!
Now all we need is:
Vine Creek
Sumner
and
Raber
There is a Cherokee, AL on the NS West End Memphis Dis.
NS rules state no Division can have two stations with the same name. They had to rename a few when the Coastal Division was combined with the Georgia. They try not have two stations on the same line that sound alike. They renamed one called Warren when they made the one called Warring on the H line north of Atlanta. At one point there was a McPherson siding north of Dallas and Ft. McPherson between Atlanta and East Point. McPherson is the south end of the double track on Braswell now. When they built Marta they did away with the station called Fort McPherson. By the way both the station and the fort was named for the same man. McPherson was one of Shermans Generals. Was killed in the battle of Atlanta. The reason McPherson outside Dallas got it name from him was due to he was in command of the battles around Dallas and Lost Mountain. I was told he set up camp for several days where the old signal at McPherson was on the H line.
These locations are all locations with "WILD" detectors.

On the Harrisburg Division, there is a Horn on the Southern Tier, and a Horn on the Buffalo line. There is also Linden on the Southern Tier and on the Buffalo line.
