B&O GP35 3684 at Akron Junction, Akron, Ohio on March 4, 1983, photo by Chuck Zeiler. There was a small service yard located just below Akron Junction on both sides. The rails the locomotives are on pass over the old B&O Cleveland line, which pass below through a short tunnel at Tower AY, located at the safety railings to the left. Fred Stuckman adds this: From left to right in the frame: left two tracks are/were the Cleveland Akron & Columbus (CA&C/PRR/PC/CR), that's the line from Hudson to Columbus. The next two tracks, including the one the train is on are the B&O's New Castle Sub. Pittsburgh to Chicago. Finally, the track to the far right that diverges from the eastbound goes into the B&O Hill Yard and serves the coal tower. It looks pretty much the same today as in 1983, when you took that shot, except for the CA&C being completely removed. The track below the bridge the train is about to pass over is only active for summer tourist operations on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railway. I have posted an album called B&O Boneyard, that shows how that area has changed. Also of interest might be the album called B&O Coal Tower. A third album shows the coal tower at night and is called Nightlife in the Boneyard. |
