Warren was a former station for the Erie Railroad on its main line (Mahoning Division) and on the Mahoning Division's first subdivision between Cleveland and Pymatuning station. Along the main line, the next station west towards Dearborn Station was Leavittsburg, while east towards Pavonia Terminal was North Warren. Along the subdivision, the next station towards Cleveland was Leavittsburg, while towards Pymatuning was Niles. The station was located miles from Pavonia Terminal and miles from Dearborn Station. Warren station consisted of a one-platform structure at the junction of South Street (U.S. Route 422 / State Route 169) at Main Avenue in the center of town. The station depot on Main Avenue was an Erie Type IV wooden frame depot that was shaped 24.5' x 50' x 17'. The site also included a watchman's shanty along Main Avenue and a Railway Express Agency building to the west of the station depot. The station also boasted a gauntlet track, than ran from milepost 53.12 to 53.67 (track miles from Salamanca), which ran trains at a maximum of . However, during the 1950s, congestion on South Street began, due to the short, two-lane length of the roadway, along with the disruption of freight and passenger trains along the street. Of nine proposals studied, the eighth of which proposed widening South Street along the railroad side, was put into effect in 1965. The Railway Express Agency building was demolished, and new rails were installed on the opposite side of the station depot. By 1966, the new two-track main line was in place, and the gauntlet track was being torn up. The station depot, constructed in 1884, was closed and demolished by the Erie Lackawanna Railroad, while remaining passenger service was redirected to the freight depot on Pine Avenue, which was reformatted into a combined passenger/freight station. Passenger service to Warren on the main line was terminated on January 4, 1970, with the final passing of the ''Lake Cities'', while service on the subdivision was terminated on January 14, 1977 by the Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail). == Station layout and design == The passenger station at Warren was located at the junction of South Steet (U.S. Route 422 / State Route 169) and Main Avenue in the downtown of the city of Warren, Ohio. The depot, which ran alongside Main Avenue, was an Erie Railroad Type IV (types were determined in a 1918–1920 report to the Interstate Commerce Commission), with dimensions of wide, long, high. The station depot was built out of wood, similar to a nearby watchman's shanty. The station location was home to a Railway Express Agency building constructed just to the west of the passenger station. The freight station was constructed several blocks to the east, constructed out of full brick. The station boasted two passenger tracks, along with a gauntlet track, which served from mileposts 53.12 to 53.67 (which ran alongside the depot, with track miles from the station at Salamanca, New York, which served as the eastern terminus of the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Warren was a former station for the Erie Railroad on its main line (Mahoning Division) and on the Mahoning Division's first subdivision between Cleveland and Pymatuning station.
