Milford Center
(Greenfield, IN)
This station sat on the north side of the tracks on the south side of Railroad Street just west of Mill Street. According to PRR records, the station was moved here from Greenfield, Indiana around 1901-1902. It was gone by 1945, but a small freight station remained after that date along the transfer track to the CCC&St.L. The freight station was built in 1888.
Milford Center There was a freight station along the north-south segment of Railroad Street. Maps from 1911 do not show a passenger station here, but there was one north of the diamond prior to that.
Peoria
AND
This station was designed by the Erie RR and shared by the Erie and T&OC at the crossing. The tower to the right belonged to the T&OC. According to Erie RR valuation records, the station was built in 1878.
Pottersburg This station was closed and moved around 1926. The station was made into a residence and "part of it added to the rear of the store" (Marysville Evening Journal-Tribune, 10-30-1954). According to Erie RR valuation records, the station was built in 1872.
Richwood Prior to the 1904 station being constructed, there was an older structure here that dates prior to 1885. It was in approximately the same location as the later Erie station, but a bit closer to Franklin Street.
Unionville Center Not to be confused with Unionville in Lake County.

Notes About Existing Stations...

Irwin (CCC&St.L) - Station was moved to this farm at some point. In poor condition now.

New Dover (CCC&St.L) - The Big four ran this line as a branch from Springfield to Delaware, the tracks survive from Springfield to Mechanicsburg servicing the elevators there. The station's original location was at the south end of Church Street (GPS: 40.246204,-83.300893). Just a few places are left north of that point where the railbed is identifiable. There still is a formidable bridge at White Sulpher, crossing the Scioto River (there are foundation stones from the station at White Sulpher still visible). Walter Low moved the station to his family farm in the 1920 (the Low Family have been on this farm continuously since 1844).

Raymond (T&OC) - Moved from its original location on the SE side of Dayton Avenue at approximately GPS: 40.332258, -83.469580. The local historical society has a replica depot on SR 347, not to be confused with this original station.
