Malinta, OH: DT&I Signal Maintainer Shed and Malinta Junction Tower: DT&I vs. NKP

(Satellite)

The shed is a reminder that in addition to depots, freight houses, and junction towers, the railroads used to maintain a lot of smaller structures such as the multiple signaling shacks that used to be at Brighton Park.

Jeff Sharp posted the following two photos with the comment:

Malinta Ohio signal maintainer Max Burns shed today restored with the depot and 1952 DT&I caboose . Moved just West of original locations along the old right of way.

Note the rails that go from the shed to the mainline and the boards in the mainline so that the speeder could be rolled to the mainline and then turned 90-degrees.
