Notes
Archbold The combination passenger and freight station sat on E. Mechanic Street where West St. dead ends at the tracks. The station was on the south side of the tracks. There were also two lumber sheds and a poultry house there on RR property.
Ekley  
Fayette The first station here was of Canada Southern vintage. This ended up being the southern terminus for the Canada Southern's route to Chicago as the line was never completed.  The station was located just to the NW of the north end of Cherry Street on the north side of the tracks. There is a large factory parking lot on this site today (2010). (GPS: 41.678938,-84.32911) There was a freight station due east on the south side of the tracks.

Notes About Existing Stations...

Brailey (Wabash) - Moved south of orig. site. Here's an old photo.

Delta (NYC) - Maintenance of Way Base.

Delta (LS&MS) - Sits off track adjacent to brick station.

Denson (DT&I) - Moved. Now a storage shed.

Fayette (NYC) - Moved from original location. Some have claimed that this station was moved from Hudson, MI, but I have not found any evidence of that as of yet.

Pettisville (LS&MS) - Built into grain company, heavily disguised. The taller section is the freight house whereas the passenger station part is connected on the east. The frieght section was likely the original passenger station with the passenger end being built later.

South Delta (Wabash) - The building near the grain silos that was restored by Northwest Ohio Rails To Trails Association and now used as the NORTA office is an old scale house (non-railroad) and is not the old Wabash station. The station is supposedly behind a house on the east side of the road. 

Wauseon (LS&MS) - On National Register of Historic Places.

Wauseon (LS&MS Freight) - Heavily modified with steel siding.
