Notes...
Delphos (NKP) - Since Dephos sits in two counties (Van Wert & Allen) I am not sure which one the depot is in. The depot is perhaps the most unattractive structure you will ever see. Constructed during the 1950's of cinderblock it is nothing to write home about. This is several blocks north of where the PRR tracks & the NKP tracks cross. --Michael Schwiebert
A retired NKP section hand (who worked out of Delphos from 1952 until the late 1980s) said the concrete building that was once a station and crew room. He said when he started with the NKP in 1952, the building was not there, but was built shortly after that time. The building housed two clerks, an operator, telegrapher, and the trainmaster's office was directly north of the current structure. The trainmaster's office is gone and only the concrete platform remains. In addition, there were showers and lockers for the crews when they arrived from Frankfort and Toledo to clean up after their runs. The bland concrete structure replaced several NKP offices located in the downtown business district of Delphos. The NKP/AC&Y yards were next to the western terminus of the AC&Y tracks. The NKP tracks from the former PRR mainline in Delphos were recently removed. --Daniel Meckstroth

| Delphos | PFt.W&C (PRR) | Built in 1879. This station sat on the west side of South Washington Street. |
| Delphos | Northern Ohio | The first passenger station was on the southeast corner of East 1st Street and South Washington. The freight station was on the next lot to the south. By the early 1900s those stations were gone (replaced by a large coal shed) and a newer passenger station was in place on the north side of East 1st Street. |
| Delphos | CH&D | The passenger station was on South Washington Street just south of the location of the old TSt.L&KC station. |
| Delphos | TSt.L&W | This station was located on the northeast corner of South Main Street and East Jackson. The freight station was just to the east of the passenger station. |
| Delphos | TSt.L&KC | This passenger station sat diagonally across the diamond from the PFt.W&C station on South Washington. Later it served only as a freight station. It was gone by the early 1900s. |
