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. |
