Notes. . . 

Hooker -  Moved from original location. It almost unrecognizable as a depot, having been heavily remodeled. It is easier to tell it was a station by looking at the rear of the house.

Lockville -  Moved about 400 feet south of the tracks on the west side of Lockville Road. It's privately owned and has been partially modified with all sorts of funky doors. It's being used as a shed, and is in fair condition.

Millersport  - Moved approximately 400 feet and turned 90 degrees from it's original location. It's privately owned and is used for storage (but it's in good condition). Unfortunately, the track side of the building with the bay window faces a shed and is tough to photograph. I was informed in 2003 that this station was purchased and moved to Carroll, OH, just south of Columbus.

New Salem - The Columbus, Sandusky, and Hocking Railway must have had trackage rights over the T&OC Ry from Columbus to Thurston. The extension was built from Thurston to Darlington connecting with the Cincinnati & Muskingum Valley. Coal branch lines extended south of Fultonham into the counties of Perry, Morgan and Athens. The
Zanesville & Western must have been formed by 1900 or 1901. I have an Ohio Railway Map dated 1898 as my source for this information. At Fultonham, the scale house and other small buildings still existed as of a couple of years ago.

Pickerington - Restored and is in excellent condition. It's now a State Farm insurance office. The adjoining Section House #44 (also beautifully restored) is now home to Focus Photography. Station is on National Register of Historic Places.

Fairfield County Stations Of The Past

Station Railroad Notes
Amanda C&MV  
Baltimore T&OC This combination station was on the west side of Main St. (SR 158) on the north side of the tracks.
Basil T&OC The station at Basil was one mile east of the station at Baltimore
and was the only brick station on the T&OC. It was closed sometime around 1950. Basil and Baltimore were two separate towns up until around 1958, when they were combined together. If you drive into Baltimore on Route 256 from the west, you come into a little downtown area, then drive out of it and on down into another one. The first one was Basil. --Dave White
Bremen C&MV (PRR)/T&OC (NYC) Was a "union" station and sat between the tracks of the railroads with the C&MV to the south of the station and the T&OC to the north.
Lancaster HV This station was at the Lancaster United Methodist Church 
campground. It was located on the road that crosses present U.S. 33 at the Highway Patrol Post and Ohio Valley Trading, just north of Lancaster. 
Lancaster HV The Lancaster HV passenger station sat between S. High and S. Broad Streets. Built in 1899, it went out of service in 1960.
Lancaster PRR Freight station. From David Dupler's site.
Lancaster C&O Freight station. From David Dupler's site.
Pickerington T&OC This doesn't appear to be the same station that is still standing. perhaps this one predated the current existing station?
Pleasantville T&OC  
Rushville T&OC  
Thurston T&OC This station may still be standing as a residence.
Thurston Columbus, Sandusky & Hocking
