Loveland station appears on maps of the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh Railway in the 1890s between Orchard Park and Jewettville. A BR&P valuation map (a very detailed map of the area drawn by the railroad) shows a building marked as “shelter” on the south side of the railroad track immediately to the west of the point where a road marked “Loveland Highway” crossed the tracks. I believe that is the road now known as Ellicott Road/ NY-240.

History
The line between Buffalo and Ashford was built in 1883 by the Rochester and Pittsburgh Railroad and was later operated by the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh Railway, and the Baltimore and Ohio (B&O) Railroad. Passenger service on the line ended on 15 October 1955 when the B&O ended its Buffalo – Pittsburgh service. Freight service dwindled over the years and different sections of line were abandoned and removed over the years. As of 2024 only two short segments of the line were still in use – from Buffalo south to Orchard Park and from Ashford north to West Valley.
