Sonora This station was built in 1888 (according to the B&O Annual Report of that year). There may have been an earlier Central Ohio station here before that. This station was at the east end of Main Street on the east side of the tracks. Here is a note from Fred Whissel: "My dad (Carl A. Whissel) was owner and operator of Whissel's Grocery/Sohio Service Station and fourth-class U.S. Post Office in Sonora for decades (1940s-70s). He had to take outgoing mail down to the station each weekday and Saturday morning and hand it up to a B&O mail car worker or hang canvas bag on a tall stand from which the slowly moving train could retrieve. The train would stop only if they had heavy, perishable, or live cargo (like carton of chicks). My dad would then take incoming mail back to the store (Sonora Rd. and Webster St.) to sort and insert in glass-faced wooden cabinet that had 100 boxes (ours was #84). At same time, the rural carrier, Charlie Oliver, would sort mail separately to be delivered to "rural free delivery" recipients in the surrounding area (Perry Township).

South Zanesville This station was on the north side of East Main Street between North Shawnee Avenue and Pembroke Avenue (GPS: 39.903374,-82.018583). It was on the west side of the tracks. It is shown on maps from 1919 when the line was owned by the PRR, but the station may have been built prior to that by the C&MV.
Spratt The station here was in a general store. There was no railroad-owned station building.
Stone  
Stovertown According to NYC valuation records, a shelter was built in 1908.
Stovertown  
Trinway
(Dresden Jct.)		 This was the first station built here. This location was known as Dresden Junction in the early years (it is shown as such on the 1875 map and had a station at that time). This station became a freight depot when the new station was built, although PRR valuation records say a new frame freight station was built here in 1902 (which could just be the date this station went into service as a freight station). 
Trinway
(Dresden Jct.)		 This station was built in 1905 (PRR valuation records say 1902) and served the PCC&St.L, CA&C and C&MV. Here is a panoramic photo of the station during a flood.
White Cottage According to NYC valuation records, this station was built in 1885.
Zanesville This station, built in 1883, was at 2nd and Market Streets (GPS: 39.942219,-82.009673). It was torn down in spring 1999. The BZ&C (later OR&W) RR leased space in this station aa the last mile of that railroad was via B&O trackage rights.
Zanesville The freight house was just north of the passenger station at GPS: 39.942791,-82.00963.
Zanesville
(MIll Run)		 Built in 1923, this station was just a long, curved, covered platform with a baggage house. It was off Hall Avenue near Mill Run at GPS: 39.953189, -81.993615. The name of the station at first was Mill Run, but was changed to Zanesville after the OR&W stopped leasing sapce at the B&O station.
Zanesville
(Mill Run)		 The PRR installed a converted box car with a loading platform west of Hall Avenue as a freight house in 1923. It was essentially a freight transfer shed next to the OR&W tracks. It was here that the PRR and the OR&W moved freight to and from the narrow-gague OR&W and the standard-gauge PRR. Large freight like logs and lumber were just transferred between cars here with a crane as well. 
Zanesville
(Mill Run)		 Not sure of the vintage of this station, but appears to be a passenger station for Mill Run that was on Hall Avenue.
Zanesville The first C&MV freight house was just north of the passenger station at 2nd and Market Streets (GPS: 39.942671,-82.010359). This freight house was replaced with a larger one (listed below) in 1886 to the west of the passenger station
Zanesville This was the second C&MV freight house. It was built in 1886 and located west of the passenger station at GPS: 39.942347,-82.010778.
Zanesville The passenger station was on the corner of Market and North 3rd Street (GPS: 39.942149,-82.009179). On the first floor of the building was a saloon, lunchroom, ladies waiting room, gents waiting room, baggage office and freight office. The second story of the building was apartments, possibly agents' quarters. This building was probably demolished to make way for the larger freight facility in 1917.
Zanesville The original CS&H freight house was where the current Zanesville Terminal Railroad still stands. This building was probably demolished to make way for the larger ZTRR freight facility in 1917.
Zanesville The original passenger station here was to the NE of where the existing W&LE station is near Linden and McIntire Streets (GPS: 39.947973,-82.008648).
Zanesville The W&LE freight station was built on the site of the original CC&S passenger station and the structure may have included that original station (GPS: 39.947973,-82.008648).

Notes About Existing Stations...

Dresden (CA&C) - According to a Keystone Magazine article in 1994 (Winter Edition, Volume 27, Number 4), this station was constructed from the members of a covered bridge. Clay Street was formerly Railroad Street and the PRR tracks used to run down the center of the street. The CA&C had trackage rights to this station on the C&MV from Trinway through Zanesville to New Lexington.

Philo (B&O) - The passenger and freight stations were originally on the east side of Front Street between 1st Street and James Street in Philo. The railroad planed to have the station burned by the fire department, but a local property owner was able to secure it from the railroad for free and had it moved out to his property on SR-376 in the 1980s or 1990s.

St. Clair (BZ&C) - This is an old boxcar that was used as a passenger shelter and freight house at St. Clair beginning in 1902. After the railroad was removed in 1929 the boxcar/station was moved to the nearby farm.

Zanesville (ZTRR) - The wood frame part of this freight station was built by the CS&H in 1891 as a freight station. In 1917 the brick portion was added by the Zanesville Terminal Railroad (affiliated with the CS&H and Zanesville & Western, later NYC). That front brick section replaced the original 2-story CS&H passenger station portion of the building (which also housed a saloon and lunchroom). The station was closed in 1968 and restored in 1989. On National Register of Historic Places.

Zanesville (C&MV) - PRR depot is located across the tracks from the former site of the B&O depot. It's being restored by a local developer. Tracks for the NYC freight house and PRR station have all been removed and replaced with automobile parking areas. The only remaining tracks are the B&O tracks. Station is on National Register of Historic Places.
