Notes... Brown - The station
often thought to be from New Carlisle is actually Browns Station, west of New
Carlisle. It was abandoned as a station in Ludlow Falls - Station
is in third location. Originally at Kessler, it was moved three miles west to
Ludlow Falls when that town's depot was destroyed Piqua - This station is
on the Indiana side of Union City. The station was originally built in 1893 at
Piqua, Ohio. It was moved in 1912 to Union City, Indiana. Pleasant Hill - I am
told that this building was the CH&D station in Pleasant Hill. It certainly has
the characteristics of a small town depot, and is a long, Troy CH&D - Surrounded by 10 ft. high chain link fence, hard to photograph. |

| Bradford | PCC&St.L (PRR) | This station was built in 1869; before that an old boxcar served as the depot. The building sat between the St. Louis division and Chicago division tracks and was north of the roundhouse. The "Depot Hotel" can be seen in the photo. This hotel was also known throughout the years as "The Ogden," "Locust House," "Louie’s," and "Beardsley’s" and didn’t close until the 1960s. As of 2008 the hotel still stands on East Main Street as a private residence and faces the old empty track bed. |
| Conover | PCC&St.L (PRR) | |
| Covington | PCC&St.L (PRR) | This station was on North High Street. There was a PCCC&St.L freight house west of Main Street on the north side of the tracks. |
| Piqua | PRR | Was located on Wayne St. just south of Water St. This is the building that replaced the smaller passenger station listed above for Piqua that was re-located to Union City, IN in 1912 (also see note below). Passenger service was abolished on this line around 1958 and the city ended up with possession of the building. In 1969, the city decided to demolish it in order to increase parking lot capacity for the city offices located just north of the building. |
| Troy | IB&W (later CCC&St.L in 1890) |
Built by the Indiana, Bloomington & Western in 1882. It served passenger operations up until about 1950, when it was closed for a number of years, until the need for maintaining a large freight house to the west became unreasonable, then the freight house was closed and the agent was moved back into the passenger station. It resumed active use as a freight station for only one train a day, but it was an originating station for unit grain trains starting in 1971, and was therefore busy. The station was taken down by the EPA in 1985 as part of a highly publicized lead contamination clean-up project in Troy. -- Note by Scott Trostel |
