- Blairstown, Iowa
- Blairstown Township, New Jersey
Blairstown was one of the three original stations on the Lackawanna Cut-Off rail line in northwestern New Jersey. Built by contractor Hyde, McFarlan & Burke, the station opened in 1911. Most passenger trains, such as the Lackawanna Limited and, later, the Phoebe Snow stopped at Blairstown, which also sold commuter tickets. It was the only station on the Cut-Off to remain open until passenger service ended in January 1970. After 1970, the building housed a radio station, WHCY-FM, until the 1990s. The station building is currently privately owned.
Blairstown is slated to become a station stop once again if a proposal by New Jersey Transit to restore rail service to Scranton, Pennsylvania, comes to fruition.
