Lake Shore Rail Maps

Sheffield Lake to Ceylon
The following information is sourced from an official Lake Shore Electric Railway traffic department document from 1932. Information in the notes has been compiled from multiple sources.

Stops designated with a letter were the "ticket agency stations" for each town, and the only stations at which limited and express cars stopped.

Stops designated with numbers were the local stops. Cars generally only stopped at these points if a person was waiting and signaling the car, or if a passenger notified the conductor that they wanted off at a specific stop. Local cars also sometimes stopped at unofficial stops, such as schools, businesses, or a residence. These were many and varied and are not included in this list. Some stops on this list were known by other names in earlier years.

Stops in bold were the "fare points." A passenger would be charged a single fare for each fare point.
