Notes...
Lindenwald CH&D - Lindenwald was not originally part of Hamilton and had its own station. When the town grew the station in town was used and this small station closed. The story goes that a railroad officer bought the station when it closed and had it moved across the road (Zimmerman Ave.) and turned to face Williams Ave and lived in it.
Middletown - Station discontinued passenger service in early 60's and was sold shortly thereafter. Station is restored/maintained brick with tile roof and wood trim and millwork. Gift Shop owner is knowledgeable about history of structure both as RR facility and as commercial property and is about preceding wood station destroyed by fire. Historic pictures of current structure in gift shop. Gift Shop is Whistle Stop Shop (513) 424-1909.
Woods - Law road was closed-off at Wood Station in 1995. This was due to lack of repair funds needed to keep the crossing in good condition. The station agent was George W. Gardner who had built the station and residence there. There were two daily eastbound and two daily westbound stops there. Riley Township relied on the station for supplies and transportation of livestock and agriculture to Cincinnati. --Robert Gardner

| Miami | CC&I (C&O of Indiana) | |
| Middletown | Cincinnati & Springfield (The Beeline) | Built in 1872, this was the first depot and it included a ticket office and freight warehouse. It was located at the track crossing on Third Street (which is now called Central Avenue). The station burned on March 12, 1884. Another depot was then built at this same location and remained in service until the Charles Street station went into service in 1909. The "Beeline" later became part of the Big Four. The old horse car in the picture used a set of tracks that ended in front of the depot. |
| Okeana | C&O | The Okeana depot was dismantled in 1950 and the lumber was used for a home. |

| Oxford | CH&D | This was the original passenger station that sat near the intersection of West Collins and South Elm. It was built around 1860. After the new brick station was built in 1895, it served as the freight station. |
| Poast Town | CH&D | |
| Shandon | C&O | This C&O depot was dismantled about 1955 and the lumber may have been used to build a home. The first depot in Shandon was built in 1903 for the Cincinnati, Richmond and Muncie Railroad. The first passenger train to arrive was in February 1904. In April 1907 service began between Cincinnati and Chicago. By 1908 it was known as the Chicago, Cincinnati and Louisville Railroad.
