This is the joint Wheeling and Lake Erie/Baltimore & Ohio depot at Monroeville, Huron County, Ohio. This side of the station is facing the W&LE track; the B&O track is out of view on the right. The sign indicates mileages from Wheeling, WV and Toledo. An enlargement of this photo revealed the date on the chalkboard as December 10, 1912. This station was dismantled and now stands in a park near Milan, Ohio.
Derek Nardecchia: Where exactly was it relocated to? Steven Myers: Derek Nardecchia It now stands at The Coupling MetroPark, about three miles north of Milan, Ohio on Ohio Route 13. www.eriemetroparks.org Another interesting thing noted when the photo was enlarged is the guy third from the left is missing an arm. The original Wheeling and Lake Erie was known for offering alternative jobs to loyal employees who were previously injured. Joe Schell: I know a guy who owns the freight station just a few hundred feet away. |

This is what it looked like in the winter of 2011 when I was there. This would have been the side facing the B&O. The side in the photograph is out of view to the left, though you can see the side of the bay window. Before I left, I knocked down all the hanging ice from the roof.

Note that the W&LE was south of the NYC on the east side but north of it on the west side.

The W&LE crossed the NYC just east of the river. Today's trail uses the W&LE on the east and the NYC on the west so that the trail is south of the railroad.

I found some things while looking for the freight house that Joe mentioned. I did not find the freight house.
NYC Depot
This has a sign that says NYC, so this trailhead building must have been the NYC depot.
Wood & Stave Grain Elevator
Rail-Served Grain Elevator
The connection to the B&O to the north is now an industrial spur to serve this grain elevator. It looks like NS leaves a cut of hoppers that is just a couple of blocks long, and the elevator uses a yellow switcher to load the hoppers.
