Cincinnati area- B&O Oakley Station demolished

[NW Mailing List]

Not an N&W station but the old Oakley Station on the B&O Ohio Division
(Marietta & Cincinnati) in Cincinnati was demolished recently.  Now only the
B&O Madeira station  and the St Bernard depot near Ivorydale stand on this
line.  The Madeira depot is a decent restaurant with some restoration work
going on now. 

 

The Oakley Depot was near East Norwood where the N&W passenger trains and
later the N&W/NS freights got on the B&O to go down to Cincinnati Union
Terminal or Gest Street Yard.

 

The Oakley depot was used recently for a recycling business until a few
years ago where the local community tried to save the depot.  But, they
could not gather sufficient funds to move the depot for the right of way.
The building needed a lot of work.

 

On the Peavine the Mt. Oreb depot in Mt. Orab is still preserved.  I cannot
state if access is available for this depot. No other depot on the Peavine
stands.  The Sardinia depot and Peebles depot were standing until about 1985
when they were dismantled.
