I recall them having an engine house and freight house in town. Thier tracks did enter the town of Dansville but were on the West or north side of town, they did not get into the main business district of Dansville. I don't thinkk there was much if any industry in dansville (Other than Foster Wheeler outside of town) that the D&MM served directly. Last time I was in dansville (about 20 years ago) there was a large stone building near the Freight house area, I think it was the old Blum Shoe company but I don't think they had direct rail access either.
Speaking of Dansville, I'd love to see track plans and pictures of the old Groveland yard of the DL&W....someone once had a postcard of the yard and it ws bigger than I imagined it would be but I saw the postcard at least 25 years ago and can't recloqal who it was. Myself and some freinfds explored the remains of the old engine house about 32 years ago, somewhere I have slids I will try to post of our visit there in 78.
Speaking of Dansville, one thing of signifigqance there is the Castle on the Hill, the huge victorian Brick building on East Hill that stands over the town (The old DL&W right of way runs above and behind it.) Besides being a facinating 100 year old brick architectural gem the facility has a great history associated with it. It is the birth place of the first pre prepared cold breakfast cereal, the birth place of the 7th day adventist church and is essentially the birth place of the Red Cross (Clara Barton eventually moved to a home in the town but she spent considerable time with personal physicians at the Castle in the process of the development of the Red Cross. It is also the birth place of the fitness movement with self made millionare (Publisher and health advocate Bernarr McFadden) and 2 of his pupils coming from the castle were Charles Atlas and Jack Lalane.
