Notes About Existing Stations...

East Hamersville (CG&P) - This brick building is round because it was originally built as a kiln, but got a new roof and was subsequently used as a station. It was later used as a residence. Wooster Avenue is the old CG&P right-of-way.

Mt. Orab (N&W) - Spelled Mt. Oreb in the early days. On National Register of Historic Places. Moved to current location in 1975.
