Notes
Madison Sat on the east side of SR 528. Was used by Lake Co. Road Dept. prior to being demolished in 1999. This was the original station which was moved across the tracks (to the north side) and connected to the original freight house upon construction of a newer brick station across the tracks (on the south side) sometime around the early 1900s. The brick station was demolished sometime prior to 1997. Access to the brick station was via Safford Street by crossing the NKP tracks.
Madison The passenger station was on the east side of SR 528 and on the south side of tracks.
Mentor The station was on the east side of Center St. on the north side of the tracks. It probably started as a passenger station and later served as a freight station as only one station building is shown there on 1941 maps.
Painesvile A frame station existed here before the stone station was built in 1893. It was essentially in the same location (on the north side of Railroad Street) as the station that replaced it. It was moved across the tracks next to the original freight station on Storrs Street to make way for the new passenger station. It served as a freight station until both freight stations were demolished.
Painesville The passenger and freight stations were on the west side of State Street.
Painesville The passenger station was on the SW side of Richmond Street next to the power plant. The freight station was farther to the SW of the passenger station.
Perry Passenger station.
