| Lilly Chapel | |
Was previously North of tracks in trees on private property near grain elevator. Supposedly torn down after being in bad shape. | ||||||

Big 4 station is on left, PRR station is on right in photo. Both the CCC&ST.L and PRR had freight stations across the tracks from their respective stations. The IB&W (predecessor of the Big 4), may have had an original station at this location first. | ||||||
| Plain City | |
This station was on the east side of Maple Street (formerly Railroad Street) just north of Maple Court. The station was next to the creek and there is now (2009) a commercial building there. Behind that building still exists a small trestle for the tracks and bridges that held the platforms to the station. | ||||||

According to the 1926 Sanborn Fire Insurance map, this station sat at North Walnut Street across from John Murray & Son Lumber Yard & Grain Elevator. | ||||||

| Notes About Existing
Stations... Florence Switch (PCC&St.L) - This station is now at the Madison County Historical Museum. This building was the Florence Switch flag stop. According to my 1970 Penn Central timetable, Florence was located at MP 31.2, halfway between London (MP 25.0) and South Charleston (MP 36.3) on the C&X Branch (now lifted). This very neat little building was apparently used for both passengers and local freight. It's very nicely restored and is full of some neat photos and other railroad displays. -- Tom Swisher |
