Notes About Existing Stations... East Monroe (B&O) - The station was moved about 50 years ago and was used as a restaurant and gas station owned and operated by the railroad section gang chief William Ramsey. It is now used as a residence. Greenfield (Ohio Southern & CWB Stations) - Both buildings are now adjacent to each other. The Ohio Southern station is used as an animal hospital - the CWB station is believed to be unused but owned by the historical society. The Ohio Southern (DT&I) station is in its original location. The CWB (B&O) building has been moved a couple of blocks from its former trackside location which was originally on on the east side of South Washington Street just past Summerfield Street. Hillsboro (B&O) - This was the second station at this location. The original CW&B station was a combination station, but was farther north along the tracks back away from Main Street. This original station is visible on maps from 1887. The current B&O station and a separate freight station to the west directly bordered Main Street. The current station appears on maps beginning in 1893. There was a a walkway leading west from the passenger station to a long platform along the tracks. The current passenger station was moved across Main Street to the south side and a bit to the east of its original location soon after service ended in the 1940s. |
