STATIONS OF THE PAST
Station Name	Original Railroad	Notes
Bellevue		This station was on the west side of York St. on the south side of the tracks with the freight station (existing) located on the north side.
Bellevue		The passenger station sat on Railroad Street near the intersection with Main Street (on the north side). The station was west of the PRR tracks. It was originally just an NKP station, but later served both the NKP and PRR passenger services. The NKP also had a freight station on a siding between East Main and East Center Streets. There was also an NKP office and supply house on East Center Street.
Bellevue		The combination passenger and freight station was on the east side of York Street north of the W&LE tracks.
Bellevue		This freight house, originally built by the S&C Shortline and later used by the PRR, was located on the south side of East Main Street on the west side of the PRR tracks.
Boughtonville
Chicago Junction (Willard)		Was on National Register of Historic Places (1978)
Greenwich		This station sat near the diamond with the Big 4. At one time there was a B&O freight station east of North Kiffin Street.
Greenwich		This station was north of Main Street (US 224) between North and South Railroad Streets. It sat on the west side of the tracks.
New London		The depot was built by the Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati Railroad (BEELINE) in 1862 and was torn down by the New York Central in 1967. It stood on the North side of the tracks off Railroad Street about half way between Walnut and North Main. Sometime between 1899-1904, the freight station was moved from next to the passenger station to the opposite side of the tracks (where it sits today).
New London		Built around 1891, this station sat at the corner of North Main and Akron Streets.
Norwalk		Was built in 1872 to replace the TN&C station (which ironically is still standing) and sat on the corner of Railroad Street (formerly Depot St.) and Whittlesey Ave. It was torn down in late 2002/early 2003 to make way for a new grocery store.
Norwalk		The first W&LE passenger station was on the west side Benedict Avenue on the north side of the tracks. Behind the station on the platform was a small building that served as a concession stand.
Norwalk		The second passenger station, made of brick, was built in the same location as the first (see above) on Benedict Avenue. It can be seen on left side of the photo. It was built sometime around 1890.
Norwalk		The W&LE freight station was located on the SW side of Woodlawn Avenue. The building in this picture, which sits a few feet west of where the passenger station once stood, was not the freight station, but was the Hotel Norwalk in early years and later was a rooming house.
Wakeman		Built in 1872.

Notes About Existing Stations... Collins (LS&MS) - The first passenger depot was the building later used as the freight house. In 1872 this building was moved a short distance west and the new passenger depot built. Curtice (W&LE) - Moved From Curtice, OH in Ottawa Co. Greenwich (PA&W) - Station built originally in Greenwich, Ohio by the Pittsburgh, Akron & Western Railroad, predecessor of the Akron, Canton & Youngstown. It was moved to New London in 1921 after the New London station had burned down. Closed in 1967 it was moved to New London's Recreation Park in 1972 now used as the park headquarters.--Vaughn Neel. Monroeville (LS&MS Freight) - West of pass. station. This was the original combination station. Monroeville (W&LE/B&O) - Now on SR 13 in Milan at Metropark. See this site for more info. This station was originally located on the east side of South Ridge Street at the B&O/W&LE crossing. It is most likely of W&LE design as it is almost identical to the W&LE station that was in Massilon. The joint B&O/W&LE freight house was on the opposite side of the diamond. Also on the diamond was a hotel which was called the Junction House in early years and the Cottage House in later years. New Washington (PA&W) - Station was on south side of tracks east of SR 602 in New Washington (Crawford Co.) until being dismantled. The current owner has moved it to Norwalk and is restoring it. Norwalk (T&NC) - This is the original Toledo, Norwalk & Cleveland combination station. After the new LS&MS station was built in 1872, it served as the freight station. Wakeman (LS&MS) - Railroad right-of-way currently undergoing change from abandoned status to that of being converted to multi-purpose trail eventually going from Elyria to Indiana border, depending on cooperation of adjoining counties working with Lorain County Metroparks. Right-of-way includes passages over several waterways, including very majestic looking sandstone bridge at Wakeman of arched construction. Bridge is adjacent to US route 20 on east end of town. Second bridge of similar construction is located at Oberlin with date 1892 engraved on it. Willard (Replica) - This building is not the original depot but rather was built from the bricks when the original depot (Chicago Junction) was torn down. The original station dates from 1874. Museum is open June-Aug., Sundays 1-4 p.m. Call (419) 935-0954 for more information.
