Orrville Union Depot was built in 1868 at the junction of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago and the Cleveland, Akron & Columbus railroads.
The 1899 Orrville Tower controlled the crossing, sidings and access to the yard of the PFW&C and CA&C railroads.
This block station cabin was once used to control the switches and signals at "Shale" near Summitville, Ohio.
Our fleet consists of an EMD GP7 locomotive, passenger cars, Fairmont A4 motor car and other vintage equipment.
