HistoryRailway settlements like Fife Station have vanished over the years. Previously located approximately 6 miles west of Aberdeen, SD, Fife Station has since faded into history. Located along the Milwaukee Road Rail Line on a sidetrack of the previous owner's farmstead, this station had a 25,000-bushel capacity. Difficult financial times ultimately led to the closing of the station, which was in operation until 1927.
