Notes | ||||||
| Adena |  |
The W&LE had a freight station and passenger station off Mill Street. Adena Mills was nearby just to the southwest. | ||||||
| Amsterdam | |
LEA&W = Lake Erie, Alliance & Wheeling. Was privately owned from 1958-2002. Torn down after roof collapsed in Nov. 2002. | ||||||
| Bergholz | |
Was located on 2nd street. Torn down in summer of 2000 to make way for a mini-mart. When NYC closed it in 1958, local resident and businessman produced a deed which his grandfather executed with railroad in 1882 which said, that when passenger service ends, property reverts to the family. As passenger service ended in 1941, the family did not exercise ownership rights until depot finally closed for freight in 1958. The family was successful in it's revisionary efforts with NYC and took possession of property and depot in 1959. Soon after, the new owners gutted the wood frame depot removing all wall partitions and ceiling and used the shell of depot for their company's (Allen Box co.) storage of pallets. This was discontinued in late 60's or early 70's and the depot laid idle into the 80, into 90's when the depot/property was purchased by new mini mart being constructed nearby, as the new mart needed property for septic tank installation. Thus, depot/lot was sold/purchased for several thousand dollars in 2000, depot torn down (lot of the lumber was salvaged) and Daily's mini-mart installed septic tanks on depot lot. -Tom Barnett (2002) | ||||||
