Notes...

Ashville - Included in the National Register of Historic Places. Has a collection of authentic Scioto Valley Railroad memorabilia, some of which was found in the attic of the building when it was renovated in 1976. The process of saving the station was captured in an award-winning slide show (Community Development Society of America, National Trust, International Visual Sociological Society, etc.). A sign in the building captured the sentiment of all who worked on the community project and later became a well-worn phase in the self-reliant community development movement, "The only thing the government gave us was a hassle." The story of Ashville's struggle to save their station was chronicled in Small Town magazine. -- Bob Hines

Circleville - The Cincinnati & Muskingum Valley (PRR) station still stands at its original location. The Scioto Valley Ry and its purchaser, the N&W, used some of the station by lease. The C&MV umbrella sheds extended west of the station. The N&W had dual umbrella sheds along its two track main. Just to the north of the station was the interlocking tower run by the N&W but operated by joint agreement. In those days and the not too distant past the N&W had much more traffic than the C&MV. Adjacent to the north of the station is a concrete abutment that was the overpass for the Scioto Valley Traction line. It still has SVTCo cast in its face. Along the C&MV tracks to the east was the C&MV freight house. This was used by the N&W/NS signal maintainers after the collapse of the PRR and the abandonment of the C&MV (N&W got the switching rights). This structure was torn down because it nearly fell down around 1998. The N&W freight house was west bound (north) of the station and was at the north edge of Circleville just south of the home signal for the tracks to the graineries and canning factories. That went down in 1999. -- Gary Rolih
