Notes About Existing Stations...

Homerville (B&O) - Near very old B&O right of way which was subsequently re-routed to the north (the tracks went, the station remained).

Lester (Replica) - This is a replica depot built by the Northeastern Ohio Live Steamers, a 7.5" gauge railroad. Depot is full size.

Lodi (B&O) - Moved around the corner from original location in the 40s or 50s to become rental housing.

Medina (CL&W Freight) - According to old maps, there was a smaller freight station and earlier passenger station at this location as early as 1885.

Medina (CL&W) - Moved to property of Medina Cut Stone from the tracks at West Liberty Street and Medina St. Used to be across the tracks from the freight station. .

Spencer (AC&Y) - Used after original station was torn down.

Valley City (CL&W) - Moved 1.5 miles west of original location. Formerly known as Liverpool.
