Notes...

Arcadia - Going east out of Arcadia towards Fostoria, it is the last house on the right just before the cemetery. It is white with a garage on the west end. Extensively modified with siding, etc.

Mortimer - This station is located in the small unincorporated village of Mortimer (it's original name) . The NKP, when they built it in 1947-48 renamed it North Findlay so that the Passenger Department could advertise that it served the City of Findlay, 6 miles south of Mortimer. It is on the Southwest corner of the NKP (NS) and the NYC (T&OC) rail crossing.  It was closed with the end of the Passenger trains. It is still in use by the NS as a MofW building. The depot is built of cinder block and glass block.

Hancock County Stations Of The Past

Station Railroad Notes
Arlington T&OC And here is a photo of train derailment at the station in 1908.
Findlay CH&D The original passenger station was on the west side of North Main Street at West High (next door to the old Taylor Public School building and later the site of the Findlay Dairy Company). The freight station was on the southeast corner of North Cory and High Streets. The 1924 Sanborn Fire map shows the old passenger station as vacant and the freight station handling both passenger and freight operations. The 1930 Sanborn map shows the original passenger station gone from that location. Is this the building that was  moved to Crystal Ave. and Walnut St.? (see listing in existing table above)
Findlay IB&W (CS&C, CCC&St.L) Station was moved from its original location (on North East Street just north of Sandusky St.) to NE corner of  East Main Cross St. and South Blanchard Street where it was used as a residence. It was torn down in 2002. A combination freight station/elevator sat across the tracks.
Findlay LE&W The passenger station was between West Front and West Main Cross Streets.
Findlay T&OC The passenger station sat on the south side of East Sandusky Street next to the old Union Hotel. It was torn down in the late 1960s or early 1970s. The freight station was just south of the dead end of East Hardin Street near where Grand Avenue is today.
Findlay Toledo, Columbus & Cincinnati This station sat between Walnut and Crystal Avenues on the northwest corner of the diamond with the LE&W. According to Sanborn Fire maps, the station was gone by 1901 as the station had probably become redundant after the 1892 merger of the TC&C with the T&OC.
Jenera AC&Y Sat near the tracks at SR 698. Torn down in late 2000. Was an old boxcar converted to a station.
