STATIONS OF THE PAST
Station Name	Original Railroad	Notes
Ankenytown
Bangs		There were both passenger and freight stations along what was called Beaupel Drive, which I believe is now called Lonzo Avenue.
Brinkhaven (Gann)		This line later became part of the Pennsylvania RR. It crossed the CA&C RR at an angle on the hillside a few hundred feet East of the high CA&C railroad bridge over the Walhonding river which has now been made into a covered bridge for the bike trail which runs between Danville and Brinkhaven.
Brinkhaven (Gann)
Centerburg		This station was at the end of Hartford Avenue. It was most likely built when the railroad was known as the Cleveland, Mt. Vernon & Columbus as older photo was from around 1885.
Danville
Gambier		This station was on the east side of Duff Street on the north side of the tracks. There was a freight station about 600 yards to the east.
Greersville (Edlam)		This was known as the Edlam-Greersville station.
Mount Vernon		The original CA&C passenger station was just east of where the existing freight station is along Howard Street (formerly called Water Street). It was located just to the west of South Mackenzie Street. The freight station that still exists is the second freight station, replacing an older and smaller building around 1900. The original freight station was closer to the old passenger station along Howard Street near the intersection of East St. When the new brick station was built around 1905-1907, the original passenger station was torn down. It does not appear on the September 1907 map.
Mount Vernon		The original B&O passenger/freight station was a frame building on the opposite side of High Street from where the existing station is. It occupied the southwest corner of South Norton and West High. After the new passenger station was built in 1907, this building become the freight station. The B&O also had a water softening plant across the tracks from this station.

Notes About Existing Stations... Centerburg (T&OC) - Station is in its original location. It was heavily modified in the early 1900s modernization project when it was given a new roof, modern plumbing, and fresh paint scheme. Danville (CA&C) - Used by a grain elevator. Covered with vinyl siding. Fredericktown (B&O) - Moved from Fredericktown to West Lafayette. The original location of this station was on Mill Street just east of Main Street in Fredericktown. Mount Vernon (B&O) - Station has been restored and is available for rent for events and dinners. For more information, see the Mount Vernon Depot site. Here is an old photo. Mount Vernon (CA&C Freight) - This station was on a connecting track between the B&O and PRR. It was known as the "Horn" Track and crossed the B&O just north of the B&O's Kokosing River Bridge, then arced northwestward to tie in back at the B&O almost opposite of the B&O station. With this track, PRR was able to serve the feed mill (Farmer's Exchange) and a coal retailer. The tower there, MN, controlled two diamonds, the south (east per railroad) end of the B&O siding and something called the "Red Mill" track. There were "Armstrong" sliding pipes that were strung over the bridge to control the switches, derails and locks, as the tower was south of the bridge, closer to the PRR main track crossing, just north of Columbus Road. --Brad Upham Thornport (T&OC) - Moved to Mount Vernon from Thornville in Perry Co.
