Depot: (Satellite)
I don't understand why we can't see the tower in the left background of this photo.
Darren Reynolds posted two photos with the comment: "B&Os 'RO' tower...Wellsboro, Indiana"

Dennis DeBruler: A geographic southbound Pere Marquette train is about to cross the B&O. The GTW is in the foreground. The lone outside-braced boxcar is on the connector between the PM and GTW. |

| Locomotive Jordan posted Year unknown, we see the Chessie System / B&O train order office in between the B&O, GTW, and the PM at Wellsboro, IN. Photo was taken by Bruce Emmons, it is out of my collection. Tim Shanahan shared Michael Reedy: PM???? Pere Marquette??? Dennis DeBruler: Michael Reedy On the oldest topo map I can find, 1953, it is marked C&O. So it would have been the Pere Marquette before 1947. |
The northern part of the C&O is abandoned, but the southern part is now owned by CKIN.

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Darren's post The building in this post, https://www.facebook.com/groups/914145539012129/?multi_permalinks=2183534765406527, was in the triangle between the three railroads and parallel to the B&O. According to the tower photos, the tower was in the southwest quadrant of the crossing of the B&O and C&O, but the shadow in the 1951 aerial doesn't look correct.. https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/scene/metadata/full/5e83d8e4870f4473/AR1PK0000010025/ |
