Notes. . .

Cincinnati B&O Freight - The building is now known as "Longworth Hall" and has artists' offices, restaurants, and sales offices as occupants. Interior has been extensively remodeled, but exterior (except for entrance doors) has remained nearly original.

Milford - This building has been modified considerably. I have it on good authority from a retired PRR engineer that the foundation is original because it is the original location as listed over the years. There is a rumor that its existence is threatened by the owner. I'm not sure the latest on that. Many people do not recognize it as a station. --Jim Sicking

Mt. Washington - The station replaced a wooden structure when the railroad electrified the route in 1902. Steam, and electrics used the line together until 1915. After a wreck east of Amelia, steam was not allowed on the route any more. It remained electric until the line's demise in 1936. The Cincinnati Water Works used the first 2 miles of the line until the early 30s, then sold the last of the line for scrap.

Norwood (B&O Freight) - This is a freight station adjacent to the GK tower/station. The freight portion of the wood station burned c.1960 and this building was built to replace it. The wood station was abandoned 8/96 and burned down in May, 2000. The brick structure is still used by signal dept.

Hamilton County Stations Of The Past

Station Railroad Notes
Addyston CCC&St.L Although some believe the Cleves station was the same as the Addyston station, the two towns has separate stations (as did North Bend). According to the 1938 Sanborn Fire Map of Addyston, the depot was located on the east side of what was called Depot Road. This station was at the southwest corner of the former U.S. Pipe & Foundry Company. I believe this location is now well within the confines of the Bayer Polymers Division complex.
Cleves CCC&St.L (NYC) This station, which sat on the south side of West State Road (US 50) about a block to the west of South Miami Ave., was used as an antique store called the "Coal Hole" then sold to someone selling fruits. When the fruit seller wanted to expand his business the building wouldn't pass inspection for selling meat, etc. So it was sawed in half- front to back- and all the equipment inside was moved to one side and the other side torn down and rebuilt, with a cinder block foundation for a wider building. Then the equipment inside the other original half was moved to the new half and the old half was torn down. After this store went out of business it was sold to the "Dental Depot" which added the bay window- on the parking lot side- and the platform - again on the parking lot side. The track side of the building is all cinder block. So the "station" that exists in Cleves today is a fake station. It is only built on the site of the old depot. --Bob Deffinger

Cincinnati Little Miami/ PCC&StL (PRR) Torrence Road station on the East side. The stone foundations of this station are existing; part of which has boarded up doors and windows in it.
