Minerva Before the "new" W&LE station was built in 1917, the CC&S (later W&LE) had a frame station located about 100 yards to the east of where the existing station is at the corner of Market Street and Lincoln (now McKinley). At the time, Market Street ended at the depot, but was extended after the depot was demolished.
Minerva The Lake Erie Alliance & Wheeling (later NYC) combination station was located on Valley Street south of Curry Street. It was out of service by 1958 and torn down soon after. There was also a shared freight station at the NYC/W&LE diamond to the northwest.
Minerva This station was at the corner of South Market and East Plain Streets. This station is shown on maps from 1874 and lasted until the early 1970s. The agent there worked half day at Minerva, half day at Waynesburg. His job was abolished in the early 1970s and the depot was torn down sometime later.

Wirtemburg
AND
 According the the 1874 map, there was a building at the junction of the C&P and C&O here. Although not identified as a depot, it is the shape, size and location where one may have been. Wirtemburg is now the SE part of Oneida. This location would have been just SW of Blade Road near the trestle on the south side of the creek.

Notes About Existing Stations...

Carrollton (W&LE) - Station used by Elderberry Line excursion RR.

Minerva (W&LE) - On National Register of Historic Places. See Note. The 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 (NYC) - Station moved to Petersburgh south of Carrollton. 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)
