Notes About Existing Stations...

Brister (OR&W)- Two separate structures comprised Brister Station. There was a passenger/freight waiting structure referred to as a sheltershed which was built during the years that the PRR operated the OR&W. It was moved to Norwich (Muskingum County) and resided on a private farm where it eventually collapsed. In July of 2024 the remnants were disassembled and taken to a private residence in Zanesville where the owner hope to rahabilitate it. The station building adjacent to the sheltershed, dating from the BZ&C years, was also general store, post office, ticketing agent location. It also still exists, but has been abandoned at its original location.
