Notes...

Bucyrus T&OC - Will be an active visitors center and museum called Bucyrus Station under the Bucyrus Historical Society for one year, then on its own as a 501(3)c non-profit corporation. The society hopes to rebuild another building that was also on the site and rebuild a 140-foot platform and install new restrooms. It will also be used as a meeting hall, train watching place, and will use old dinette sets and kitchen furniture surrounded by bay windows facing both NS and CSX roads. The T&OC line is abandoned except for the 8-mile Spore Quarry line which diverged to a PRR spur. Old PRR tracks on two sides of the station. The T&OC Station, we find, has a missing ticket office, evidenced by marks on ceiling and floor that match those of the NYC ticket office. Old-timers told us that the PRR Sandusky short-line sold tickets here and operated their own wooden freight house station across the street until torn down. --Jim Croneis

Bucyrus T&OC (former Plymouth St. Station) - The Plymouth St. Railroad Station was located at the corner of Plymouth St. and Lane St. in the northeastern area of Bucyrus. The station was used at the turn of the century as a cream stop and alternative for those living north of the Sandusky River when the river was un-passable. Over the years the station was used as a barber shop and residence. The Bucyrus Preservation Society relocated the station to an area near the T&OC Depot on E. Rensselaer Street. The station now serves as a gift shop for the complex and offices of the Bucyrus Preservation Society.

Bucyrus NYC - Walton Lake is off US 30 on the other side of Crestline. If you have an Ohio Gazetteer, it is on page 49 on the left edge of the page just outside of Crestline on Eckstein Rd.

New Washington: Station was on south side of tracks west of SR 602. until being dismantled. The current owner has moved it to Norwalk and is restoring it.

New Winchester - After the T&OC closed the station in New Winchester a family bought the building for their home and moved it to the Sugar Grove Lake area where it stills sits, abandoned, on the east side of St. Rt. 100 just north of Monett-Chapel Road.

Chatfield Northern Ohio (AC&Y)/
Columbus, Sandusky & Hocking
Bucyrus T&OC Sat across from the passenger station on the south side of Rensslaer St. Demolished by NS in 1998 to make room for the new connecting track between the NS Sandusky District and the CR Ft. Wayne Secondary.
Bucyrus PRR There were two PRR stations in Bucyrus and I am not sure which one is pictured. I believe from the looks of this building that the station pictured is the PFt.W&C station that sat on East Railroad Street on the east side of North Lane Street. There was a freight station directly across the tracks there as well.

Another PRR station sat on the south side of Rensslaer St. just west of the T&OC freight station on the original Sandusky Short Line (later CS&H). There was also a PRR freight station south of there on the south side of Warren Street.

Crestline CCC&StL and PFtW&C Built 1863, demolished 1980. The station sat in the Northeast quadrant of the PRR
main line/NYC intersection off Route 61, Bucyrus St. and Crestline St. This station also housed the Continental Hotel.
Crestline CCC&StL and PFtW&C Built 1854, this was the original Union Station predating the one listed above.
