Replica 1880s Train Station – Xenia, Ohio
In 1998, the City of Xenia commissioned the building of a replica train station that once stood at the site of what was at one time the freight yard of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O). The city of Xenia has had a long history with railroads, starting in the 1840’s with the Little Miami Railroad (LMRR), followed by the Columbus and Xenia Railroad (C&X) and then the Baltimore & Ohio in the 1890’s. The peak of the railroad in Xenia came in the 1930s. And today, what was the B&O freight yard, is now a hub for 5 regional rail trails, including the Ohio to Erie Trail, which will run from Cincinnati to Cleveland once completed.
