Pine River Valley & Stevens Point was 3 foot gauge between Lone Rock, WI, and Richland Centre (now Richland Center). It was absorbed by the St. Paul in 1880 and later standard gauges. PRV&SP "Richland Centre" was built by Porter in February 1876, #240. It was gone by 1887 and the disposition is unknown.
