Notes
Bowling Green There were two T&OC stations in Bowling Green; an old frame station  and newer brick station which replaced it. The first station, located between  E. Wooster and Court Streets (formerly Thurston St.), was built around 1880 and replaced by the brick station in 1896.
Bowling Green The brick station, built in 1896, was torn down in 1962. This location was the same as the old station, on the west side of the tracks equidistant between E. Wooster and Court Streets (formerly Thurston St.). Across the tracks was a holding pond for the Bowling Green Electric Light & Power Company. That pond was originally a quarry for the Snowflake Lime Company. The T&OC also had a freight depot on a siding north of Clough Street which was torn down in 1971.
Bradner This combination station sat on West Railroad Street south of Crocker Street on the west side of the tracks. Demolished in 1967.

North Baltimore Built sometime prior to 1893, this station was on the north side of E. Broadway Street between Rhodes and Beecher Streets. It may have been built by the TS&F (a CH&D predacessor). A freight depot was added to the north side of the building by the CH&D around 1900-1908 and the 1913 map shows a long brick platform there along the tracks. Both the freight and passenger stations were gone by 1927. There was a locomotive house nearby between Broadway and the B&O line and it was also gone by 1927.
Pemberville This combination station was at the end of Columbus Street off Bierley Avenue.
Perrysburg Before the CH&D station was built at the corner of West 3rd and Louisiana Ave. sometime between 1901-1908, the D&M had a two-story station about a half block to the SW. This station was on West 3rd Street about halfway between Louisiana and Walnut. That original D&M station appeared last on the 1893 map. On the 1900 map, the original station is gone and the railroad used a former saloon on the corner of West 3rd and (what is now) Burlingwood Drive as a station. After the new CH&D station was built this saloon building was used as a dwelling, but is now gone as the lot is used for parking (as of 2009).
Prairie Depot
(Kremlin)
(Wayne)
This town was first named Freeport, then changed in 1852 to Prairie Depot to avoid postal conflict with the Freeport in Harrison County. At that time there was no depot in the town. Later, whene the T&OC came to town, the railroad referred to the stop as Kremlin, although the residents still preferred Freeport and Prairie Depot and the train conductors would call out the three names as the train stopped there. The town was officially renamed Wayne in 1931 and the other names were discarded. There are two stations in the photograph, the one on the left was probably the old passenger station (then a freight station in later years) and the one on the right a newer station. One of these buildings supposedly was moved and/or became a residence in the 1960s. Can anyone verify that with a recent photo if that is the case?
