I have a polyline (old railroad track). I'd like to add the train stops as points along it by clicking on the places. I have georeferenced historical maps as the background and can see the train stops on it.

In the construct points along a line, I have to select distances or equal distance, etc. I don't see an option for clicking.

If I just generate points (create a new point file and just click), then then points may not be on the line.

Thanks for any suggestions.

If you enable snapping in ArcGIS you can snap to the line you are trying to place the point onto.  Take a look at Using snapping effectively in ArcGIS 10 for ArcGIS Desktop or Configure snapping—ArcGIS Pro.
