Description

Colored image of the front of the N. & W. station. The tracks ran behind the station.
Built in 1931, the Norfolk & Western Railroad Station was located at Seventeenth (17th) and Findlay Streets. It was used for passenger trains until 1971 when they were discontinued but still housed the division offices. The building was demolished in 2004, and the Scioto County Jail is now in a structure made to look similar to the old station.
