From Ohio Railroad Stations Past & Present web site: "The Cincinnati & Muskingum Valley (PRR) station still stands at its original location. The Scioto Valley Railway and its purchaser, the N&W, used some of the station by lease. The C&MV umbrella sheds extended west of the station. The N&W had dual umbrella sheds along its two track main. Just to the north of the station was the interlocking tower run by the N&W but operated by joint agreement. In those days and the not too distant past the N&W had much more traffic than the C&MV. Adjacent to the north of the station is a concrete abutment that was the overpass for the Scioto Valley Traction line. It still has SVTCo cast in its face. Along the C&MV tracks to the east was the C&MV freight house. This was used by the N&W/NS signal maintainers after the collapse of the PRR and the abandonment of the C&MV (N&W got the switching rights). This structure was torn down because it nearly fell down around 1998. The N&W freight house was west bound (north) of the station and was at the north edge of Circleville just south of the home signal for the tracks to the mills and canning factories. That building was torn down in March, 1999."
