The old and historic Bowling Green Station was built in 1894. You can see it on display at the Carillon Historical Park in Dayton, Ohio.

By the 1890s, the railroad was the major transportation link uniting the nation. While cities like Dayton has large union stations, small towns used smaller depots like this one. There were hundreds of these stations throughout Ohio.

Communities depended on depots for daily news and telegrams delivered by the telegraph, mail and freight services, and travel. Passengers waited in the front room while the station master worked in the back.
