Notes... Coldwater - A few years ago, I drove to Coldwater and took a picture of the station for publication in the Nickel Plate Technical and Historical Society Magazine. The picture was published, however a retraction of information was necessary when long time New Bremen resident and retired N & W/ NKP locomotive engineer, John Tomahafe notified the editor, Pete Shepherd, that the station was that of the Cincinnati Northern, not the NKP as much as we Nickel Platers would like According to John, the Coldwater NKP station no longer exists, the victim of the wrecking ball. I would believe John as he went through Coldwater many times in the cabs of 600 Mikes and 700 Berks, as well as Alco Bluebirds, and of course the many classes of diesel locomotives. --Daniel Meckstroth Ft. Recovery - Bought by village in 1973 and moved to community park about a quarter mile from its original location which was off Celina Road near the Wabash River. This station is beautifully restored and inside are some of the equipment used during the stations operating years. The signal levers are operable and the passenger train arrival/departure boards are still there. The station is on the entrance to the park, where thousands see it each year as they attend the tractor pulling contests held in Fort Recovery. The desk at the bay window is still the way it looked when the station closed from serving the N&W. If you go during the week, there is a caretaker there who will let you inside and see the beautifully maintained interior. --Daniel Meckstroth |
