Richland County Stations Of The Past

Station Railroad Notes
Bellville B&O This depot was on the east side of North Bell Street.
Butler B&O Depot was torn down sometime before 1980. Here are some photos of the station before a 1908 fire claimed the tower part of the building. In the 1974 photo, you can see the roof repair where the tower section was removed. The station sat just to the north at the end of East Henry Street. In the old days the Hotel Victor sat behind the station and a handle factory was across the tracks.
Mansfield PRR/Erie This union station was off north Diamond Street.
Mansfield B&O This station was on Springmill Street.
Shiloh CCC&St.L
