Bellefontaine
Before the CCC&ST.L owned the IB&W and CC&I, both railroads had stations in Bellefontaine at the site of the latter day CCC&St.L station at W. Chillicothe and Elm St. See this map of the station area from 1887 showing both stations and a shared freight facility. There was also a hotel on the site called Mesamore's Hotel (later known as the Commercial Hotel in the 1890s). There was a CS&C station at this location as early as 1875.
Bellefontaine This station sat on West Chillicothe Avenue. See this map of the station area from 1901. The original shared IB&W and CC&I freight facility was still used for the CCC&St.L at this time. The Big 4 Restaurant was located behind the passenger station.
Bellefontaine This freight station sat on West Auburn Street. See a map of its location from 1914.
Bellefontaine This combination station sat on the corner of Elm Street and  Buckingham Avenue. The station below was later added to the area.

Notes About Existing Stations...

East Liberty (T&OC) - Area is overgrown and building in bad shape. Here is an old photo.

Iron City (Unknown) - Someone claimed a station was located here. Can anyone confirm?

West Liberty (CCC&St.L) - Moved. Now Marie's Candy Store. This station was built in 1926 when the West Liberty Cut-off was constructed by the Big 4. All prior stations were located on the old main line about one mile east of the current main line. The old station grounds are a large vacant lot near a grain elevator on Baird Street. --Scott Trostel
