Union: (Satellite)

B&O: (Satellite)

The route in the weeds on the left was the B&O, and the route with the nice ballast on the right was the Erie.

How special that Crawford County Ohio has saved TWO of their Historic Depot’s in Galion & Bucyrus… CONGRATS!

Union station was in the southern quadrant of the crossing. Pennsy was on the east side and Erie was on the north side.

I got the railroad names from this map and noticed that the B&O Station was a little west of Mulberry Street.
