Notes | ||||||
| Ava |
 |
The C&M (PRR) station was along the tracks between Main and Monroe Streets. There was a school house, livery, and pool hall on the same block according to a 1911 map, but these structures were gone by 1923. A station is still shown here on the 1923 PRR List of Stations & Sidings. | ||||||
| Belle Valley |
AND |
The original, or possibly the second, C&M (PRR) and OR&W passenger and freight station was on the south side of Main Street at approximately GPS: 39.786105, -81.553039. The station had bay windows on both sides as the two lines were parallel here. This station burned down in 1904 due to suspected arson (Zanesville Times Recorder, 11-29-1904). | ||||||
| Belle Valley |
AND |
In 1904 this station was built here in roughly the same location as the original station which burned down. The C&M (PRR) was served on the north side of the station and the OR&W was served on its south side. The station was built by the PRR with standard plans. It was torn down in 1932. | ||||||
| Belle Valley |
 |
This was a temporary station made of boxcars that was installed during the transition from the original depot to the replacement depot. Alternate theory: It may have served in the aftermath of one of several floods to affect the stations over the years (1907 and 1913 were notable). | ||||||

Similar to the PRR, the OR&W constructed a temporary shelter east of the station grounds either during the transition from one depot to the next, or in the aftermath of one of the floods. | ||||||
