Notes...

Fredericksburg: Building is block but covered with shingling. Sits about 200 yds. off Clay St. behind old feed mill. Old CA&C milepost nearby.

Orrville: Home of the Orrville Railroad Heritage Society. Mailing address is P.O. Box 11, Orrville, OH 44667. The new W&LE bought these tracks from Norfolk Southern back in the early 90's, when the new W&LE was established. See OrrvilleRailroad.com for more information.

Sterling - It was previously reported as torn down, but this was not the case as Mike Lytle photographed it in 2006. It is behind a warehouse that was built in the early 2000s.
