Notes About Existing Stations...

McCutchenville (T&OC) - Originally the station was located in Senaca County on the north side of town on the east side of Route 53 where the Heritage Cooperative office building is presently (2011) located. It was moved from the original site to its current location around 1952. It still has the original wood flooring, walls and interior doors. the lower level was once a garage, but has been expanded and converted into additional living space.

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.
