Notes. . .

Minerva - Minerva sas a three depot town. NYC freight/pass depot was at Valley St., the WLE/NKP depot was up the street at Valley St., and the PRR depot was at Market St. First depot to go was NYC around 1958, NYC moved the agent at time up to the yard office, thus retiring the depot. Next depot to go was the PRR at Market St. which lasted until early 70's, the agent worked half day at Minerva, half day at Waynesburg. His job was abolished early 70's and PRR Market St. depot was torn down sometime later. This was wood frame depot with slate siding. The last depot to close was the WLE/NKP/N&W Valley St. "brick" depot. N&W had a traveling agent using the depot until around 1980 at which time it closed. Depot sat unused and vandalized until around 1991 when new W&LE took over 550 miles in OH & PA. During summer of 1991, Ohi-Rail, the village and Kohman Ford got together with new W&LE and created win-win-win-win situation. W&LE sold depot to Village of Minerva, W&LE sold team track area to Kohman and W&LE and Ohi-Rail removed diamond (track leading to depot) and cut in new switch, thus re-connecting old PRR (Ohi-Rail) with old W&LE (new W&LE) in Minerva. The village procured a grant, fixed up the depot and it now houses Chamber of Commerce and Salvation Army. Also, waiting room is open to use by Elderberry Line excursion train passengers. --Tom Barnett (2002)

Watheys - Depot closed in 30's, bought by a block operator named Scott Crawford who worked Minerva Yard. He had it on his farm for many years. After he died in the 70's, his niece donated it to Carroll County Historical Society, it was moved to Petersburg, (south of Carrollton on SR 332) and restored and is open every fall during the Alogonquin Mill Festival. --Tom Barnett (2002)
