Minerva Junction, OH: Dual Spout Water Tower


It required some research to locate this tower because a Google Map search could not find it, but a tower with spouts on two sides to serve both branches was worth the effort. (It turns out the Bing Map does have the junction.)

Minerva Junction, Ohio - Cleveland, Canton and Southern - nice composition in this photo.

The Cleveland, Canton and Southern was part of the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad (WLE) by 1928. As of 2005, it was part of the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway (WE).

My SPV Map indicates the junction was west of Minerva and north of Oneida. The above view would be looking north. On satellite images you can see the siding still exists, but it is rather short.
