STATIONS OF THE PAST
Station Name	Original Railroad	Notes
Arlington		And here is a photo of train derailment at the station in 1908.
Beagle		This stop had a combination station/post office. It was located on County Road 26 just east of US 68.
Findlay		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		Station was moved from its original location (on North East Street just north of Sandusky St. and north of the old Union School building) to NE corner of East Main Cross St. and South Blanchard Street where it was used as a residence. It moved from its original location sometime between 1925-1935, and was torn down in 2002. A combination freight station/elevator sat across the tracks. Later, between 1895-1901, the CCC&St.L tore down the original freight station and built a new freight station on the south side of the tracks. That building was still standing as of 1949 and was then used as a coal shed. It is not known whether, or when, that building was torn down or if it is still standing.
Findlay		The passenger station was between West Front and West Main Cross Streets.
Findlay		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 (N. Findlay)		According to old maps this station was not around for very long. It was built sometime between 1887 and 1895. This station sat between Walnut and Crystal Avenues on the northwest corner of the crossing of the Toledo, Columbus & Cincinnati (TC&C) with the Lake Erie and Western railroad. The stop would have been called "North Findlay," but this is not the same location as Mortimer which is also called North Findlay. This section of town was called North Findlay long before that name was attached to Mortimer. According to the maps, the station was gone by 1901 giving it a life span of only 14 years maximum. In 1892 the TC&C merged with the Toledo & Ohio Central. Because the T&OC already had a station in town, this TC&C station was probably redundant and therefore demolished.
Jenera		Sat near the tracks at SR 698. Torn down in late 2000. Was an old boxcar converted to a station.
McComb		Although of NKP design, this station served both railroads. It was located on the west side of North Liberty Street along the NKP tracks.
Mortimer		A frame passenger and freight station sat at this location (off County Road 216), but burned down around 1947 and was replaced by the station that exists today (see table above).

Notes About Existing Stations... Arcadia (NKP) - Station has been moved from original location. 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. Findlay (B&O) - Supposedly a car lot and attorney's office. Moved from original location. Can anyone confirm this and identify its original location?? . Hatton (T&OC) - This station was dismantled in Hatton (Wood County) in 2005 and reassembled in Findlay in 2006. See the NWORRP website for photos and details. Huber Station (CCC&St.L) - This was a station on the Findlay Branch of the CCC&ST.L. It may have also been called River Bridge. The owner of the station has photos of the boards in the walls that are stamped "Huber Station." The heavily modified station appears to have been turned with the middle section of the house being the old station. Mortimer (NKP) - 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.. Pratts (CD&St.L) - Also served as a boarding house. The building is virtually collapsed. Rawson (LE&W) - Moved to park in 1951. Williamstown (T&OC) - Moved in Summer 2002. Here is a photo after restoration.
