Freedom Station
Garretsville This station was on the south side of the tracks on the north side of Freedom Street.
Garretsville The freight station, which was located on the north side of the tracks off Freedom Street, was sold at auction in the summer of 2009 and was dismantled. The dismantled building is now for sale and it may be rebuilt at another location in the future.
Kent The freight station sat just to the south of the passenger station along Franklin Ave.. 
Kent Before the B&O built the existing passenger station in 1905, the P&W had a small passenger station on the east bank of the Cuyahoga river just south of the Main Street bridge. This station sat "below" and just to the north of the Erie station and overlooked the dam. Old maps show a staircase leading down to the station from the Main Street bridge. Judging from the photo, this station may have been a recycled boxcar or caboose.
