Notes About Existing Stations...

Bedford (Connotton Valley) - Restored 1987.  Line now leased to Connotton Valley Railroad, which operates the line from Falls Jct. to Weingold Scrap where the line is cut off. Although built by the Connotton Valley Railway, it is restored according to its 1920s W&LE look.

Berea (CCC&St.L) - Across from BE Tower On National Register of Historic Places. Here's a shot before it was gobbled up by the restaurant.

Berea (B&O) - Station was "Berea" but building actually was in Middleburg Heights. It resided at Trolleyville USA for many years (Trolleyville closed in 2005) until being moved to Olmsted Falls in late 2008.

Bay Village (NKP) - Moved from trackside to city park.

Brecksville (CT&V) - Building was purchased by the operator from Jaite and moved to the current location in 1942.

Chagrin Falls (CC&S) - Houses a printing business.

Chagrin Falls (Chagrin Falls & Southern) - Temporarily moved to Geauga County Fairgrounds in Burton. The depot, owned by Claridon Township Trustee Mary Briggs took about 3 1/2 hours to move. She plans to place the depot on a parcel she owns at 14801 Goodwin Ave in Burton Village. The depot is visible from Claridon-Troy Road. The Chagrin Falls and Southern was a private, narrow-gauge line nicknamed "the Silver Plate" and later became part of the Wheeling & Lake Erie, which became part of  the Nickel Plate.

Cleveland (Union Station) - Terminal Tower was served by the CCC&ST.L, NKP, and LS&MS and Erie (beginning in 1948).

Cleveland (Valley Railway) - Later owned by the B&O, closed to passenger traffic in 1934 and then became a freight office.

Cleveland (Erie) - The roof has been collapsed for years.

Cleveland (W&LE) - Houses QRS Office Supply

Falls Junction (Connotton Valley) - Falls Junction depot was built in 1883 by the Connotton Valley Railway at the junction of Cochran Road and the tracks which served Chagrin Falls. When the Austin Powder Company relocated in northeastern Ohio, it founded a company town known as Glenwillow and moved the depot there. Until 1974, the depot was used by the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway. In 1993, the W&LE donated it to the Midwest Railway Preservation Society.

Olmstead Falls (LS&MS) - Houses CV&WS Model RR Club. PRR Caboose on site.

Solon (Erie) - Replaced original station which burned. The tracks are actually out of service to the east of the station, but still in service to the west of it--about 50 feet east of the station, there is a piece of rail removed to officially take the line out of service to east.
