Rick,

A good place to look for this is the public timetables.  Tom put a bunch up here:

I Don't don't remember other than my mother and I were passengers on south and north bound trains between Lafayette and Ellettsville. I as preschool age at the time. The Agent used a chain operated order signal to stop the northbound train for us. (From a years later look upI did no find that Ellettsville was even a flag stop.)
