LANCASTER
AND
SOUTHERN
This railroad began as the Columbus, Lancaster & Southern in 1895, was reorganized as the Columbus, Wellston & Southern in 1899 and then became the Columbus & Southern in 1903. It was abandoned in 1916. After going out of service the station was at one point on the back end of a grain mill then later moved out of town to private property. When the owner of the property demolished his house to build another house, he tried to get the historical society to take the station. The historical society passed on the offer and the station was demolished.
