STATIONS OF THE PAST
Station Name	Original Railroad	Notes
Amanda
Baltimore		This combination station was on the west side of Main St. (SR 158) on the north side of the tracks.
Basil		The first station here was a frame station built in 1880 on Oak Alley. It burned shortly thereafter and arson was suspected. The local rivalry between Basil and Baltimore (the station at Basil was one mile east of the station at Baltimore) led some to believe that the depot was burned as part of this feud.
Basil		This station replaced the original station (listed above) and was the only brick station on the T&OC. It was built in 1880 and was closed by the NYC in 1948. When the station closed, it still was lit by gas lamps rather than electricity (Lancaster Eagle-Gazette, 7-10-1948). Basil and Baltimore were two separate towns up until around 1958, when they were combined together.
Bismark Park (Buckeye Park)
Bremen	AND	Was a "union" station and sat between the tracks of the railroads with the C&MV to the south of the station and the T&OC to the north at GPS: 39.703305, -82.423150.
Carroll		The original depot here was built in 1868 and burned down in 1905.
Delmont
Harley		Was also known as "Yelrah" ("Harley" spelled backwards) by locals. The station was off Stoudertown Road NW in the vicinity of GPS: 39.853713, -82.689459.
Lakeside Park
Lancaster (Campground)		This station was at the Lancaster United Methodist Church campground. It was located on the road that crosses present U.S. 33 at the Highway Patrol Post and Ohio Valley Trading, just north of Lancaster.
Lancaster	AND	The Lancaster HV/C&MV (C&O/PRR) passenger station sat between S. High and S. Broad Streets. Built in 1899, it went out of service in 1960. Prior to 1899 there was another joint station here; a smaller frame depot that was just to the west. The 1899 Sanborn Fire Map shows both the "old" and "new" stations standing at that time.
Lancaster		This freight station was on the east side of South High Street just south of Locust St. Photo from David Dupler's site.
North Berne		According to the November 19, 1936 edition of the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette, John Eversole, Sherman Weidner, William E. Friesner, and Walter A. Shaw served as agents over the life of the station. During peak traffic, the station saw eight passenger trains per day. Passenger service ended in 1926 and around 1936 the station was purchased by Edward Burnsworth who reclaimed the lumber to build a house on Bremen Pike.
Pleasantville
Rushville
Stoutsville
Sugar Grove
Thurston (Bush's Station)	AND	This station may still be standing as a residence. Can anyone confirm? The station's original location was on the east side of High Street on the NE side of the tracks at GPS: 39.843312, -82.546477. Station was also known as Hadley Junction.
Thurston (Bush's Station)
Wyandotte (Clear Creek)	AND Columbus & SOUTHERN	This station was on Wyandotte Road. It is where the Lancaster & Hamden RR (Columbus & Southern) junctioned with the C&MV. The back of the photo read "2 miles east of Stoutsville where the 'Old Rosie' met the C&MV railroad. The Old Rosie went to Tarllton, Laurelville and South Bloomingville." A 1918 article in the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette (5-18-1918) reported that the station was dismantled with the intent that it would be reassembled and used by the railroad in Zanesville. The article also confirmed that the station was in fact a union station used previously by the C&MV and Columbus & Southern RR.

Notes About Existing Stations... Carroll (CHV&T) - The station was originally located on the north side of Mill Street in Carroll. Hooker (CHV&T) - Moved from original location. It almost unrecognizable as a depot, having been heavily remodeled. It is easier to tell it was a station by looking at the rear of the house. Lancaster (CHV&T) - FOP Hall. Lockville ( CHV&T) - Sold by C&O in 1930s. Very small station. Moved about 400 feet south of the tracks on the west side of Pickerington Road NW. It's privately owned and has been partially modified with all sorts of doors. It was being used as a shed, but as of 2019 the property appears abandoned/vacant. Millersport (T&OC) - The station was originally moved approximately 400 feet and turned 90 degrees from its original location and was at Refugee Road (SR 204) & Railroad Street. Around 2003 that this station was purchased and moved to private property on Havensport Road near Carroll. New Salem (Z&W) - The Columbus, Sandusky, and Hocking Railway must have had trackage rights over the T&OC Ry from Columbus to Thurston. The extension was built from Thurston to Darlington connecting with the Cincinnati & Muskingum Valley. Coal branch lines extended south of Fultonham into the counties of Perry, Morgan and Athens. The Zanesville & Western must have been formed by 1900 or 1901. I have an Ohio Railway Map dated 1898 as my source for this information. At Fultonham, the scale house and other small buildings still existed as of a couple of years ago. --Ron Weaver Pickerington (T&OC) - Insurance Agency. T&OC section house next door. This station is restored and is in excellent condition. It's now a State Farm insurance office. The adjoining Section House #44 (also beautifully restored) is now home to Focus Photography. Station is on National Register of Historic Places.
