(This list is based on USGS data and may include former settlements.)Both locations were railroad stations with no residential buildings immediately adjacent. Clarion was a station on what is now the Burlington Northern mainline a few miles southwest of Mendota. No siding or any visible sign of a station exists—and has not since at least 1950. Wendel station was on a Burlington Northern branch line about four miles west of Mendota. A grain elevator (at one time operated by the Wendel family) was the only structure other than nearby farmsteads. The branch railroad was abandoned and all rails removed circa 1975.
