Delaware This was the passenger station. Here is an older photo. This station sat at Hocking and West William Streets with the passenger station on the east side of the tracks and the freight on the west side. They were on the south side of West William St.
Delaware Freight station. See above.
Delaware The CS&H (later PRR) passenger station sat along the Olentangy River just north of East Winter Street. It was built around 1895. The freight station sat in a small yard on the southeast corner of East Winter and North Henry Streets (where US 23 is today).
Delaware CC&C The illustration is of the first station at Delaware for the Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati RR. It is dated 1854. "The 1866 Atlas for the City of Delaware shows on a map a passenger depot north of East Winter Street, and south of E Berkshire Street (now E. Central Ave) between the tracks curving west and tracks curving east. This is consistent with this drawing as a view looking south. The map also show a track south of the depot crossing from the east side of depot to join the track heading west on the west side of the depot. I show the merger to form the CCC&I occured in 1868." - Paul Monks

Notes About Existing Stations...

Delaware (CCC&I ) - Station track gone. Flower shop. A smaller CCC&I frame station predated this station at the same site (it appears on 1885 maps). The CCC&I was renamed the CCC&St.L a couple years after this station was built. In the old days there was a "Railroad Eating House" just south of the station.

Delaware (CCC&St.L ) - Across the tracks from the passenger station.

Sunbury (CA&C) - This is an example of the heavy modification the PRR performed on some old CA&C depots in later years. It received a different roof, lost its bay window and was covered with fake-brick siding (which has mercifully been removed as of 2009).
