| 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 near its original location, but was moved a short distance south to a farm). 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. Lodi (W&LE) - Built in 1882, it was 48' by 18'-6". The depot was moved 13' closer to the main line, and had a freight section added in 1909, when the B&O rebuilt their main line closer to town. The addition of the freight section made the depot over 90' long. On January 31, 1977, a train/truck accident destroyed nearly 20' of the waiting room. The depot now belongs to the Lodi Railroad Museum, established in December, 2005, and is slated for a complete restoration as soon as grant money is secured. 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. Sharon Center (Northern Ohio) - The original location of the station was on Varney Drive (Township Road 204) on the south side of the tracks (GPS: 41.08931,-81.737514). Valley City (CL&W) - Moved 1.5 miles west of original location. Formerly known as Liverpool. |
