| Notes About Existing
Stations...
Adair (OR&W)- This shelter shed's original location was to the north about 100' across Paine Road (Township Road 126) at approximately GPS: 39.837191, -81.082068. The Friends of the Ohio River and Western Railway Historical Society has now restored it (in 2025). Brister (OR&W/BZ&C)- 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 new owner hopes 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. Brister (Replica)- This replica of the Brister shelter shed was built in 1993, but became quite weathered over the years. It was restored in 2024 by the The Friends of the Ohio River and Western Railway Historical Society. Burkhart (BZ&C)- This was a general store that also served as the station. |
