Notes About Existing Stations... Amelia (CG&P) - The station is nearing the end of a long restoration. The restoration has been a major rebuild that is historically correct. The plan is to use it as a museum displaying CG&P & Black Line artifacts. Please contact David Pommert (513-236-2160) to see the building or to loan pictures or artifacts of the CG&P or Black Line to display. Bethel (CG&P) - Part of the building is a chapel and part is a residence. It was the first electrified building in Bethel. As with the Mt. Washington station (Hamilton Co.), the station was passenger/freight, and also housed the electric generating equipment (sub stations) for the electric cars, and freight locos. There was a third sub station on the east side of White Oak creek in Brown county. It has been long gone, but the foundation is still in place, and in very good condition. Several railroad artifacts have been found in the area. The railroad electrified the route in 1902. Steam and electrics used the line together until 1915. After a wreck east of Amelia, steam was not allowed on the route any more. It remained electric until the line's demise in 1936. Cohoon (CP&V) - he name of this town was changed to Perintown. This is the original station. It was later converted into a section foreman's house and a new station was built. Loveland (B&O) - Now houses the "Runner's Depot" that sells shoes and running gear. Along ex-PRR bike trail. |
