Marty Bernard posted five photos with the comment:
Handing Up Orders, Front and Caboose, at Warwick Tower
B&O GP40 3685 built Nov. 1966 and became CSX 6501, B&O GP38 3810 built Oct. 1967 and became CSX 2010 and B&O GP9 6529 built June 1957 at Warick Tower, Clinton, OH just south of Akron in March 1984, 5 Karl Miller photos.
Stuart Chirls: Great photos! Does anybody else find it technologically quaint that railroads were handing up paper orders in 1984? (And I know the LIRR did into the 2000s.)

The B&O used the northwest route and shared the route going southish with Pennsy. The other "spokes" were Pennsy.

Google Maps doesn't know about Warwick, but a USGS map shows that it is just west of Clinton.

In this historic aerial, I include the construction of OH-21 on the right to help orient the location on today's satellite imagery. I also include the water tanks on the left because I notice that they are on the topo map above in the upper-left corner.
