posted four photos with the comment: "Baltimore and Ohio Railroads "BK" tower(West Jct.) Near Chillcothe, Ohio."
Jeff Steinbrook: This is Musselman Station Rd. just east of Frankfort, Ohio it is where the lines from Cincinnati, Ohio and Dayton lines connected, they controlled passing trains here also, to where they could switch off trains onto the line which run up and through, North Fork and the Papermill onto Southern Ave. The old switchman's building sits on Cooks Hill Rd. someone paid to have it moved and put there.
Brandon Willis: Where exactly was BK tower?

Dennis DeBruler commented on Brandon's question
https://maps.app.goo.gl/zNPWPTZ1XUStACPC7 Even OH-100 is now abandoned across Paint Creek. The trail uses the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton (CHD) route to the west to Frankfort and the B&O route to the east. Ironically, there is still a B&O bridge in the upper-left corner. |
