Notes
Butterworth The station was located at the bottom of the pasture of what was the Butterworth (Foster?) Stone House off Butterworth Road. It was downstream from the Butterworth Girl Scout Camp, Maineville. Tim Butterworth writes: "My ancestors gave the land for the track and the station, and Clarkson Butterworth, who may have done some of the surveying, was given a pass to ride free on the railroad for his lifetime plus 2 days."

Fort Ancient This hotel also served as the station.

Notes About Existing Stations...

Franklin (CN & CCC&St.L) - Originally just a CN station, this building also served the Big 4 after the Carlisle Cutoff went into operation in 1911. This was the second CN passenger station at this location. The first station, built by the CJ&M, was across the tracks with frontage on Main Street (old name Center Street).

Lebanon (Replica) - Replica of the CL&N depot. The Lebanon, Mason, and Monroe scenic railway ceased operations in Lebanon at the close of business December 21, 2008. Two bridges between Lebanon and Hageman on the former Cincinnati, Lebanon, & Northern (later PRR) line no longer passed engineering inspections. LM&M plan to continue operating excursions but will not be operating in Lebanon. The Lebanon Garden Club owns the replica station and plan to continue operation as a tourist stop/recreation area. As of 2009, the two bridges have been repaired and the LM&M is back in operation.

Morrow (C&MV and PCC&St.L) - What was once a busy railroad town and station, Morrow is now known as a refreshment stop on the bicycle/hiking/walking/horse riding path on the Greater Miami Bicycle trail. Just south of the station is where the PRR branch to Lancaster (former C&MV)left the Columbus to Cincinnati main of the PRR (former PCC&St.L). Thus the station served both lines as the Lancaster branch ran along the east side of the station while the Columbus-Cincinnati main ran along the west side of it. A lonely signal still looks over the former right of way. In the early years (1895) there was a roundhouse across the tracks to the southeast.
