Notes About Existing Stations...

Marion (Union) - All three railroads pass within 50 feet of this "Union" Station.   The old waiting room is currently open M-F 10-2 for rail fans.  The tracks to the north are now CR, they were originally Erie/ EL and NYC. The tracks to the east are now NS. They were PRR until 1964, then N&W and NS. The tracks to the west are CSX, former C&O/Chessie. All three railroads currently have 2 tracks at the station. It is quite a spot for rail fans, with nearly 100 trains passing every 24 hours (CSX 30, NS 27, CR 25 plus locals). During its active years the station was operated and maintained by the CHV&T (C&O).

Prospect (CHV&T) - Moved one mile from original location. Now a restaurant. The original location was on Railroad Street between Water Street and Park Avenue. This station was located on the west side of the tracks (built across the tracks from the original station).
