HOLMES COUNTY

Killbuck (CA&C) - This is an example of the heavy modification the PRR performed on some old CA&C depots in later years. It received a shortened roof and lost its bay window. The Dresden Branch diverged from the mainline near the station.

Millersburg Passenger (CA&C/B&O) - The depot was moved (in two pieces) from its original location & set on a new foundation at the end of W. Clinton Ave. in April 2005.  Its new location is still along the abandoned CA&C line (which is now the Holmes Co. Rail Trail). By late June of 2005 the outside restoration was completed, with the station being returned to its original appearance.  The complete restoration (both inside & out) was completed before 2005 ended.  It is now a visitor center at an access point to the rail trail. - Doug Wantz

Millersburg Freight (PRR/B&O) - Dan West reports - "Station is made of block but covered with shingling. There is a sign on the station that reads "ACC & B&O Depot" but station is on the ex-CA&C (later PRR) line and looks to be of PRR vintage. Maybe the sign was misprinted and should have read CA&C instead of ACC? Mark Bushong replies - The B&O had a branch that ran from Lodi to Millersburg. The line was pared back to Wooster sometime in the 30's. In the late 60's, that portion was wiped out by flooding (see below). CSXT now reaches Wooster by trackage rights over RJ Corman from Warwick to Massillon and over Conrail from Massillon to Wooster. There was a wooden trestle over the PRR in Wooster. The line ran parallel to the PRR down to Big Run where it headed south. It later ran parallel to the CA&C towards Millersburg. Old Sanborn Insurance maps show that the two railroads shared facilities in Millersburg.
