|||||||
| Kimball | AND |
This station and the nearby freight station were joint-owned 50/50 by the B&O and NKP. It was on the north side of Delematre Road and was built in 1889. The passenger station originally stood in the SE corner of the diamond with the freight station on the SW corner. The station did not burn as previously reported. It was been dismantled by a guy from Norwalk. All the pieces were numbered for reassembly elsewhere, but the boards were stored outside and the weather eventually claimed them making reassembly impossible. A few of the borads were salvaged for other uses. The station's original location was at approximately GPS: 41.311394, -82.699183. | ||||||
| Milan | |
The Sandusky Register (8-14-1956) reported that the depot was "practically demolished" by high winds on Aug. 13, 1956. It is unclear if the station was consequently demolished following the damage at that time. | ||||||
| Parkertown |
 |
|||||||
| Prouts | |
According to B&O valuation records, this station was built in 1889. | ||||||
| Sandusky |
 |
The original frame Sandusky, Mansfield & Newark station was at East Washington and Warren Streets and was likely built in the 1840s or 1850s. It may have also been a dwelling prior to becoming a depot (Sandusky Register, 12-20-1906). There was also a small baggage house nearby. At the time of its demise the newspaper referred to it as one of the oldest in the state. | ||||||
| Sandusky | |
This station was opened on May 27, 1907 to replace the station listed above (Sandusky Register, 5-26-1907). It was on National Register of Historic Places and sat at East Washington and Warren Streets. | ||||||
| Sandusky | |
The B&O had a 476-foot long freight house on the lake past the end of where Franklin Street intersects with Water Street at GPS: 41.460088, -82.707929. It was built in 1888-1889. The B&O grain elevator was two slips to the east. There was also a freight office near that corner and the B&O round house was in between the freight office and freight house. | ||||||
| Sandusky | |
The B&O had a spur onto south side of the grounds of the Soldiers & Sailors Home, but it is unclear whether there was a station, shelter or any structure there to serve the RR. The interurban line had a depot on the north side of the grounds. | ||||||
| Sandusky |  |
The PRR passenger station was on the northwest corner of Water and Decatur Streets. The freight house was about 400' to the north of the passenger station. | ||||||
| Sandusky |
 |

| Sandusky |

| Sandusky | |
The LS&MS had a freight station at 423 Water Street just east of the intersection with Hancock Street. It was on the north side of the street across from the John Dorn Wine Company. This freight station was built in 1888. There were also two freight stations (inbound and outbound) at the intersection of Central Avenue and North Depot Street. These two frieght houses were built in 1871. Another freight station was just northeast of the intersection of Lawrence & Water Streets adjacent to the Woolsey Wheel Company warehouse. | ||||||
| Sandusky |
 |

| Sandusky |  |
The original Mad River station was built in 1838 and was Ohio's first railroad station. Some people claim that the Fedderson Building is the original Mad River station, however this does not seem to be the case as the Fedderson Building is of much newer vintage. The photograph linked to the left was taken after the building was sold by the railroad and then housed the office for the Gilcher & Schuck Lumber Company. |
||||||
| Sandusky |   |
This was most likely the station that went into service after the original Mad River station went out of service and ownership of the building passed to Gilcher & Schuck. This second generation station was located at Water and Lawrence Streets. See this map from 1883 and this old Sanborn Fire Map. The 1855 Sandusky City Directory lists the Mad River station's location as "Water Street between Fulton and Lawrence." It lists the freight office at 282 Water St. This line was at various times known as the Cincinnati, Sandusky & Cleveland and was held in receivership by the Indiana, Bloomington & Western (IB&W). Later it was part of the CCC&St.L. There was a large freight house on the dock north of the intersection of Lawrence and Water Streets. The company also had an office and platform on Water St. with a restaurant in the basement. | ||||||
| Sandusky | |
The LE&W had a roundhouse and shops at the western end of South Depot Street. Was there a passenger station near there too? | ||||||

Notes About Existing Stations... Berlin Heights (NKP ) - Now an American Legion hall. Moved a short distance. Castalia (LE&W) - Moved, now houses Lions Club. This station was on the north side of the tracks on the east side of SR 269 (Washington St.), virtually "next door" to the CCC&St.L station listed below. Castalia (CCC&St.L ) - This passenger station later served as a freight station. It was moved approx. two miles from orig. location in 1952. The original location was on the north side of the tracks on the east side of SR 269 (Washington St.). See photos of the station being moved. Monroeville (W&LE/B&O) - Moved from Monroeville to Milan around 1980. See a page about it and the park it is in. This station was originally located on the east side of South Ridge Street at the B&O/W&LE crossing in Monroeville. Although it served both railroads, it is most likely of W&LE design as it is almost identical to the W&LE station that was in Massilon. The joint B&O/W&LE freight house was on the opposite side of the diamond. Also on the diamond was a hotel which was called the Junction House in early years and the Cottage House in later years. Sandusky (LS&MS) - Now an Amtrak stop and EMS HQ following restoration! On National Register of Historic Places. A panoramic map of the city from 1883 shows a frame depot at the same location. Vermilion (NKP) - Moved 500 ft. north of NS main near school. On National Register of Historic Places. There is a serious effort by a core of individuals that are restoring the depot. It is in great shape. Help is needed by anyone interested in creating a site for railfans to visit and chat when visiting Vermilion to photograph the huge amount of rail traffic. The Vermilion group would like to establish this as an interpretive museum, and even re-lay some track in front of the depot for display, even though the operating NS main runs only 150 feet away. If you are interested in joining the Vermilion NKP Depot group,call Don Harbaugh at (440) 967-2265 weekdays from 9-5. Some sources list the build date as 1872, but NYCRR valuation records list it as 1879. Vermilion (LS&MS, Passenger) - St. Mary's Church Meeting Hall. Wakeman (LS&MS) - This freight station was on the south side of Railroad Avenue west of Pierce Street at GPS:41.255323, -82.404723. Built in 1874, it sat vacant for many years before being disassembled in late 2021. It was transported to from Wakeman (Huron Co.) to Milan and rebuilt on private property. |
