Stations that are "closed and vacant" should have seen no further use (railroad use excepted) since A-Day +/-. Any reoccupancy is disqualifying.
These criteria make the members of the list quite exceptional in many respects and indicate a high historic preservation value. Increasing awareness about these otherwise overlooked assets seems valuable to me.
Out of the discoveries so far Plymouth, Indiana is probably my favorite. Sidney, Ohio is a close second but that location has seen some interest in preservation.
