Niles Junction, OH: CSX/B&O crosses over NS/PRR

(Satellite, my guess based on the aerial photo below)

Note the tower in the background.

From a 1927 Railway Signaling magazine. A location where the B&O and the PRR paralleled each other.

A bad ektachrome slide scan, but lasted into the early 1980's

You can still see the "land scars" for the two connections. Pennsy had trackage rights on the B&O between here and Ravenna, OH.
The photos above indicate that the tower was on the north side of the tracks.
