Milford Center This station sat on the north side of the tracks on the south side of Railroad Street just west of Mill Street. The station was built sometime after 1901 and was gone by 1945, but a small freight station remained after that date along the transfer track to the CCC&St.L.
Milford Center There was a freight station along the north-south segment of Railroad Street. Maps from 1911 do not show a passenger station here, but there may have been one prior.

Notes About Existing Stations...

New Dover (CCC&St.L) - The Big four ran this line as a branch from Springfield to Delaware, the tracks survive from Springfield to Mechanicsburg servicing the elevators there. The station's original location was at the south end of Church Street (GPS: 40.246204,-83.300893). Just a few places are left north of that point where the railbed is identifiable. There still is a formidable bridge at White Sulpher, crossing the Scioto River (there are foundation stones from the station at White Sulpher still visible). Though the New Dover station is quit visible from the road, I doubt few people recognize it for what it is, or even know that the station is surviving. -- William Westhoff

Raymond (T&OC) - Moved from tracks which are south of town. Local historical society has a depot replica on SR 347, not to be confused with this original station.
