I am not sure where you are going but it is rather interesting.

The first time Dorney showed up in my station list was a 1910 N&W station list.

A 1917 list of N&W coaling stations contains the following:

Dorney Built 1910 Concrete
4 Tracks 8 chutes
Link Belt 700 ton cap.

I might add the valuations of 1916 and later show construction gravel.  I think they forgot to mention cement.

Hi everyone,

I’m gathering some final notes on the Dorney, Ohio coaling station, and would like to nail down when that place-name was first referenced for a writing project.

The earliest reference I have is in Alex Schust’s book on the Scioto Division, where he states a tool house was built at Dorney in 1901.

An 1887 Scioto Valley Railroad public timetable (N&W predecessor) from the rails and trails site does not list Dorney.

If any of you have some early, pre 1901, N&W timetables that you could check, I’d be very appreciative. Dorney was located just south of Circleville Ohio (zooming out a bit, between Chillicothe and Columbus).

Thanks!
