This image is a post card lithograph of the Penn station #5 in Lima, Ohio at the turn of the century. Below it is the one cent stamp dated January 12, 1910 by the U.S. Post Office in Ada, Ohio that is on the back of the post card.

The station as I last saw it in August, 1998. Most of the passenger waiting shelter area is gone, the building has been abandoned for years now, and one set of tracks has been removed. There hasn't been passenger service through here since 1968, and I know of no restoration plans. If I were a rich man, I would save and restore it. This station was 100 years old and saw a tremendous amount of traffic. I believe it was torn down in 2000 or 2001.  In it's railroading prime, the City of Lima and this station would see trains every seven minutes; like the traffic in most major airports today.
