Beavertown
(PASADENA)
This station was built by the Dayton, Lebanon & Cincinnati RR & Terminal Co. (bought by PRR c.1913) and was also known as Pasadena Station. A portion of the DL&C line in Oakwood and Kettering is a paved bike path. The station sat behind a vacant storefront at 1213 Devon Avenue about one block west of Wilmington Pike. It was demolished around 2005-06.
Brookville Dayton
&
Western
According ot the 1875 maps of town, the original passenger station here was on the southeast side of Market Street on the south side of the tracks (GPS: 39.83701,-84.411140).
Brookville Dayton
&
Western
The original freight station was on the southeast side of Salem Street on the south side of the tracks (GPS: 39.837877,-84.41335).
Carrollton Station This station was on the south side of Farmersville-West Carrollton Road on the west side of the tracks (south of the intersection of Infirmary Road) (GPS: 39.6735,-84.275475). It is shown on the 1875 county map.
Centerville Dayton, Lebanon & Cincinnati RR.
County Line This station was two miles north of Union.
Dayton This photo is identified as being near Dayton. Can anyone help confirm whether it was a station and where it was located? Mystery solved: This was not a station, but rather the B&O yard office shack at South Dayton Yard.
Dayton The "Round Top" union depot was built around 1855-56. It was at the corner of South Wilkinson and West 6th Streets (GPS: 39.755105,-84.193876). It was used originally by the CH&D and AG&W and and later by the CCC&St.L after the original CCC&I station was demolished. It was built and owned by the CH&D, but leased to the other railroads. 
Dayton Built in 1900, the station was located at West 6th and South Wilkinson Streets (GPS: 39.755059,-84.194208). The tracks were elevated in 1931. The main building and towers were removed in the 1950s and the area under the tracks was modified to serve as the station with new entranceways. The remaining station was demolished in 1989. Bob Thaman reports in 2008: The old olive green and gray specked terrazzo floor and black and maroon 12" square tile floors of offices are still there to indicate the terminal. The two stairway openings leading up to the tracks above are evident but now covered over with metal sheeting so someone above doesn't fall through to the old floors below.
Dayton The original passenger station was on the south side of East 3rd Street between Sears and Webster Streets (GPS: 39.760812,-84.182439).  After the passenger station was taken out of service, it served as a freight office (and is listed as such in 1918). The station was demolished in 1930 for a track elevation project.
Dayton A large freight house, built in 1882, was a few feet to the south of the original passenger station. It was at 3rd and Bainbridge (GPS: 39.760251,-84.182176). Along with the original passenger station (listed above), it was demolished in 1930 for a track elevation project. When the station was demolished, the business from this station was transferred to the freight house on West Washington Street.
Dayton There was a freight station on the north side of Bacon Street between South Clinton and South Keowee (formerly Montgomery) Streets. It was on the south side of the tracks (GPS: 39.761247,-84.177265).

Dayton There was a freight station on the east side of North Patterson Boulevard between Monument and 1st Streets. The tracks ended there as the Miami Canal was near where North Patterson Boulevard is today (GPS: 39.763934,-84.187101). After two more freight houses were added to the east (see below), this become known as CCC&St.L Frieght House #3. It was gone by 1926.
Dayton In addition to the original freight station listed above, two additional freight houses were added along the East 1st Street/Monument Avenue corridor by 1898. Freight House #2 was at the corner of Sears Street and Cooper Street (now gone). This location is now in approximately the area from home plate to centerfield at the Fifth Third Baseball Field (GPS: 39.764527,-84.184273). Freight House #1 was on the south side of East Monument Avenue and stretched between Sears Street and Webster Street (GPS: 39.765088,-84.183447).
Dayton In 1926 the Big 4 built a new freight house with a larger office and fireproof construction at the corner of SW Sears and Monument Streets replacing Freight House #1 which was on the east side of Sears Street.

Miamisburg This was the "new" CH&D station built on West Sycamore Street on the west side of the Miami River. It was washed away in the flood of 1913.
Miamisburg After the 1913 flood washed away the CH&D station, the B&O built a new passenger station at Linden and Riverview Streets near the original CH&D station (then used for freight). This station was just south of Linden Street on the top of the riverbank.

Notes About Existing Stations...

Air Hill (PCC&St.L)This was likely an inn that served as a flagstop for the railroad. It was likely built, or established as a station, during the Dayton & Western days. The Dayton & Union timetable from 1900 shows a stop here. A note in the Jan. 17, 1894 Dayton Herald says the "new" Air Hill depot was purchased by Nicholas Fryman for $400 and that he would take possession of it in one year. The staton name is shown as "Weavers" on some valuation maps. The name may have been changed to avoid confusion with the Weaver Station between Greenville and New Madison on the PRR in Darke County.

Bowling Green (B&O) - Station moved to park from Bowling Green, Wood Co.

Dayton (B&O) - Inbound freight house/freight agency office. Webster Street Market. Farmers market & shopping area.

Dayton (B&O) - Outbound freight house. National City Second Strett Public Market.

Germantown (CJ&M) - This CJ&M (later Cincinnati Northern) station was moved to its current site Oct/Nov 1988. Station utilities updated to modern standards with mechanicals hidden in the new crawl space. Station originally sat on East Market Street on the East side of the tracks where the Post Office in now. Permission for original construction given by Village Council August 23, 1887. Station is dated 1896. According to NYC valuation records, it was built in 1899. Maybe the freight station was used until this one completed. Passenger service ended in 1938 and freight service teminated in 1960. The original location of the station was on the east side of South Mulberry Street (not a through street at this location now) between East Market and East Gunkel Streets (GPS: 39.624784,-84.367474).

Miamisburg (CH&D) - This was the first CH&D passenger station, probably built in the 1850s or 60s, and was later used solely for freight. It is shown as the passenger station on maps from 1875 and 1888. This section of town was first known as Bridgeport.

Trotwood (PRR) - This station is listed on National Register of Historical Places. Built by Pennsylvania Railroad in 1912. last in series of stations dating back to completion of Dayton & Western RR in 1856. D&W became part of PRR Lines West system in 1869. Track bed now a bike trail.

Trotwood (D&U) - This was the first Trotwood depot, built in the 1850s. It was built by Amos Higgins who decided to build an inn that could also function as a station. It was built after the Dayton & Union had decided on the right of way location. It remained the depot until 1866 before being moved to the Pfoutz General Store on the southeast corner of Main and Broadway Streets. The general store is now gone. The historical society moved the current depot to the site of the old general store in 1980. Businesses occupy the 1st floor and a residential apartment is on the 2nd floor.

Union (CH&D) - This station was originally on the north side of the street. It was moved to the south side and converted to a residence after passenger service ended in 1922.
