STATIONS OF THE PAST
Station Name	Original Railroad	Notes
Atwood		Atwood was between Dellroy and Barrick on the CC&S. It was a flag-stop station, so the combination grocery store shown in the photo may have served as the station here.
Augusta (Pattersonville)		There were two generations of stations here. the first was built around 1883 and the second was built in 1902. The second station measured 16'x30'.
Barrick
Carrollton		Prior to the W&LE station being built in 1914, the CC&S had a smaller frame building at the same site at the corner of Second and High Streets. This old station is shown on maps from 1896.
Carrollton		The original station, built in 1856, was located on North High Street between Main Street and Second Street (then known as North). This station can be seen in the background of the photo for the station listed above. The Carrollton & Oneida was originally a horse-drawn railroad, but the horsepower was later replaced with steam engines.
DelLRoy		Dellroy was on the Sherrodsville Branch which was abandoned in 1938. The location of this station is now covered by Atwood Lake.

Minerva		Before the "new" W&LE station was built in 1917, the CC&S (later W&LE) had a frame station located about 100 yards to the east of where the existing station is at the corner of Market Street and Lincoln (now McKinley). At the time, Market Street ended at the depot, but was extended after the depot was demolished.
Minerva		The Lake Erie Alliance & Wheeling (later NYC) combination station was located on Valley Street south of Curry Street at GPS: 40.722670, -81.107331. It was out of service by 1958 and torn down soon after. There was also a shared freight station at the NYC/W&LE diamond to the northwest. According to NYC valuation records, the station was built in 1902 and measured 16'x62. It was moved a few feet southeast during the construction of a connecting track. It was formerly located closer to Valley Street.
Minerva	AND	There was a joint-owned freight transfer house that measured 30'x40' and was located in the north quadrant of the W&LE/NYC diamond at 40.724163, -81.110083. It was built in 1903 by the LEA&W, but was owned 50/50 with the W&LE.
Minerva		This station was at the corner of South Market and East Plain Streets. This station is shown on maps from 1874 and lasted until the early 1970s. The agent there worked half day at Minerva, half day at Waynesburg. His job was abolished in the early 1970s and the depot was torn down sometime later.

Wattsville		According to NYC valuation records, this station was built in 1912 and measured 16'x30'. It was moved across the track and set on a new foundation in 1913.
Whitacres
Wirtemburg	AND	According the the 1874 map, there was a building at the junction of the C&P and C&O here. Although not identified as a depot, it is the shape, size and location where one may have been. Wirtemburg is now the SE part of Oneida. This location would have been just SW of Blade Road near the trestle on the south side of the creek.

Notes About Existing Stations... Carrollton (W&LE) - Station used by Elderberry Line excursion RR. Minerva (W&LE) - On National Register of Historic Places. See Note. The N&W had a traveling agent using the depot until around 1980 at which time it closed. Depot sat unused and vandalized until around 1991 when new W&LE took over 550 miles in OH & PA. During summer of 1991, Ohi-Rail, the village and Kohman Ford got together with new W&LE and created win-win-win-win situation. W&LE sold depot to Village of Minerva, W&LE sold team track area to Kohman and W&LE and Ohi-Rail removed diamond (track leading to depot) and cut in new switch, thus re-connecting old PRR (Ohi-Rail) with old W&LE (new W&LE) in Minerva. The village procured a grant, fixed up the depot and it now houses Chamber of Commerce and Salvation Army. Also, waiting room is open to use by Elderberry Line excursion train passengers. --Tom Barnett (2002) Watheys (NYC) - Station moved to Petersburgh south of Carrollton in 1976. Depot closed in 30's, bought by a block operator named Scott Crawford who worked Minerva Yard. He had it on his farm for many years. After he died in the 70's, his niece donated it to Carroll County Historical Society, it was moved to Petersburg, (south of Carrollton on SR 332) and restored and is open every fall during the Alogonquin Mill Festival. -- Note byTom Barnett (2002). According to NYC valuation records, the station was built in 1902 and measured 16'x30.
