AND
This station was in the NE corner of the PRR/CHV&T diamond at the intersection of Chief Street (formerly Railroad Street) and W. Hicks Street. The CHV&T Hotel was across the tracks in the NW quadrant. The station faced the CHV&T tracks, but a long platform wrapped around the side of the building on the south side to serve the PRR tracks. The station was built by the CHV&T with the PRR moving into the station later after closing its station on 7th Street (see below).
Upper Sandusky The PRR passenger station was on the SW corner of Hicks and 7th Street. That building was later used as a RR maintenance building and office after the PRR moved into the CHV&T station around 1900. The passenger station was torn down around 1920. The freight station was just to the west on Hicks Street between 7th and 8th Streets on the south side of the tracks.
Upper Sandusky The CHV&T freight station was on the north side of Johnson Street, on the east side of the tracks.

Notes About Existing Stations...

McCutchenville (T&OC) - The McCutchenville depot is a residence just a few houses down from SR 53 just after a brown house trailer. It has a garage under it.

Wharton (T&OC) - Moved from its original location on West Sandusky Street on the east side of the New York Central tracks. The depot was moved in the late 1950s, when passenger service and the signaling system were taken off the line, to make room for the new Post Office. A local auto mechanic now owns it and uses it for storage. The north end of the building is missing. It has been modified with large opening to accommodate vehicles.
