I sent 2 photos to the list in regards to the station at Geauga Lake (Now
Six Flags). The first photo el_geauga.jpg is of the station looking
northwest (Geographically). If you look to the left of the roof you will
see a rollercoaster. It is very close. You can note that there is a road
to the left of the station. It is an access road from former Sea World of
Ohio (now part of Six Flags) and Geauga Lake (also now Six Flags as
mentioned before. The building is in need of a new roof and one pillar
holding up the roof is missing the bottom of the pillar (so it isn't really
holding up the roof well). The building had a interesting front where it
looked like you could back a truck up to unload your freight. It would be
directly opposite the doors on the left of the long side shown.

The second photo is looking railroad east towards Aurora, Levittsburg,
Garrettsville and Mantua. The station is on the right obviously.

Both photos were taken roughly October of last year (2001).
