Chartered as early as 1832, Northwestern
Ohio railroads were among the first in the Midwest. Toledo, a rapidly
developing lake port at the mouth of the Maumee River, was the destination
point for many lines; others were just passing through on their way to
Chicago and points west. By 1907, 20 lines served the northwestern
counties. All had a series of stations along their lines, often with
depots or other railroad structures. Although many have come and gone,
Northwest Ohio was once home to over 250 passenger or combination depots
serving the traveling public. Railroad Depots of Northwest Ohio relives
the golden age of railroad travel through vintage postcards and mid-20th
century photos of selected depots and related structures.
Author Bio: Mark J. Camp is a geology professor at the University of
Toledo, a lifelong Toledo resident, and a longtime railroad historian. He
serves as a national director of the Railroad Station Historical Society.
