Big Four Depot (Springfield, Ohio)

In 1924, an average of 3,000 freight cars and 40 passenger and express trains passed through the depot each day.

[3] In 1947, in the postwar period, the station remained busy, with New York Central trains bound in multiple directions:[4] The last trains on the Detroit-Cincinnati route, Michigan Special (northbound) and Ohio Special (southbound), made their final runs in 1958.

[5] The New York Central sustained a local unnamed remnant of the Ohio State Limited on the Cincinnati-Cleveland route.

[6] The Penn Central (formed from the New York Central-Pennsylvania Railroad merger) carried on this service in the final year of the station's existence.

[7] The Big Four Depot was demolished in February 1969 to make way for the Spring Street bridge that carries State Route 72's bypass.
