Toledo, Area, OH: SA/Stanley Tower: CSX/TT vs. CSX/Big4/TOC

Satellite

I labeled the "town" Toledo Area because this area is still rural. Most of the development in the Toledo area is north of the Maumee River.

TT was Toledo Terminal and ran east/west through this junction. TOC was Toledo & Ohio Central. It became part of the Big Four and thus became part of the NYC. In addition to the north/south route that went south to Stanley Yard and then Fostoria, OH, TOC also had a route leaving this junction towards Findlay, OH. Since the TOC route to Fostoria paralleled the Hocking Value route to Fostoria, Penn Central abandoned it south of Stony Ridge.

SA tower, Stanley tower just north of Stanley yard in Toledo.
Would visit old Bob Sapp. An original NYC operator!!!
I was there on one of his last days. Before he retired. He usually was a vocal character during work. That day......I think ol Bob just may have shed a tear somewhere during that last shift I visited him . On that warm Sunday morning in 1994. 
Pictures of the tower were taken that day. Old Bob wouldn't let me take a photo of him.
He always had a pot of hot coffee though. The spoon would almost stand up in it!

Skip Cubbedge posted "Inside Stanley Tower (And More!)" video. It is trains rolling by until 5:38, 7:28, 8:46 (but just talking and thinking), 11:48 (some coffee drinking). I had trouble hearing the conversations. But you can easily hear the "pounding of the diamonds."
