The Toledo & Ohio Central Station in Bucyrus was operated by the Bucyrus Historical Society as visitors center and museum called Bucyrus Station for one year. It is now on its own as a 501(3)c non-profit corporation. The society built another building that was also on the site and a 140-foot platform. It is used as a meeting hall and train watching place. Old dinette sets and kitchen furniture are surrounded by bay windows facing both NS and CSX tracks. The T&OC line is abandoned except for the 8-mile Spore Quarry line which diverged to a Pennsylvania RR spur. There are old PRR tracks on two sides of the station. The station is on National Register of Historic Places.
