Notes...

Enon -  The building also served as a grain store in the old days.

South Charleston
- DT&I station restored; the bay window and roof overhang on the track side of the building had been removed by the DT&I many years ago, but were reinstalled during the restoration.

Springfield (ERIE) - This station was not located on the Erie line as Springfield suburban railroad handled the cars from Maitland to the freight house. Building now houses Robinson Insulation.

Springfield (CCC&St. L) - The Big Four freight and passenger stations were originally built in 1910.  The freight house is still there, its almost a city block long and is currently used as the Credit Life Insurance warehouse.  The NYC passenger station built in 1910 was taken out in the late 1960s for the construction of the Spring Street bridge over the NYC property, which at that time was many tracks.  Spring Street was cut off in 1909, so this bridge was a restoration of Spring as a through street.  The passenger station site itself is now a parking lot for Clark State Community College. The earlier Union Passenger Station was one block west on Washington between Fountain and Limestone Streets.  Washington Street was host to the double track NYC, which ran right down the middle of the street.  Union Station was demolished in 1910 when the new station opened. South of the old station also sat the PRR (Little Miami) passenger station, about a half block south.  The early station was replaced circa 1909 - 1910 with a new station that served passengers until 1953.  The 1910 station was positioned to be on a new one block street called Union Street, which ran between Fountain and Limestone.  The DT&I had two passenger stations in town at different times.  Until 1897 it used the "Union Passenger Station," then moved into its own station on North Limestone on the Springfield belt line of the Ohio Southern, a forerunner of the DT&I. It was closed in 1932 and all DT&I trains went to the PRR station.  In 1937 they moved across the street into the DT&I's South Limestone Street freight house.  It was then used as a joint freight and passenger station for the DT&I's mixed train until May 8, 1954, when the DT&I ended all passenger service. Most of the Springfield freight and passenger facilities met their end in the late 1960s and early 1970s when the transportation hub area surrounding the NYC passenger station were demolished in an urban renewal project. --Scott Trostel

Springfield (Jackson Center) - This station was moved from Jackson Center, in Shelby County, by a private individual in the 1970s. It was restored and maintained in near original condition some 40 miles from its prior location. It features the distinctive 1920 style of Henry Ford when he owned the D T & I railroad and selected gray as the station color and with large signs. A very good example of Ford influence on the railroads under his ownership in that era. - Scott Trostel
