Notes. . .

Toledo Union: At the time it was built, it served 110 passenger trains per day. A few years ago, Conrail sold the station to the Lucas County Port Authority for $20,000. The station was renovated using a combination of local, state, and federal money. It was re-dedicated in September, 1996 and the name was changed to Central Union Plaza.

The original lobby has been preserved, but the Amtrak station has been re-located downstairs at track level. The remainder of the building is office space, most of which is occupied by the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) and Lucas County Educational Services. The remainder of the space is vacant.

Amtrak also operates an express facility at the location. The station currently serves 4 Amtrak trains per day with more service pending in 1998. Visitors can see the restored lobby during business hours-- 8am-5pm. The Amtrak station itself is open from 10pm-1pm, but by summer 1998, it should be open 24 hours. Note submitted by Ed D'Amato

Waterville: The Toledo, Lake Erie & Western Railway, Inc. (TLE&W) leases the one mile of track on which the depot is located. TLE&W operates an excursion line between Waterville and Grand Rapids. Ohio. TLE&W owns the ten miles of track which was the part of the Nickel Plate Road and formerly once part of the Cloverleaf.
