TOC = Toledo & Ohio Central
I used "B&O+Pennsy" notation in the title because this mainline was jointly owned by B&O and Pennsy. B&O was the original owner, and B&O built and staffed the interlocking towers. [ColumbusRailroads_pom] According to a USGS map, Columbus & Ohio River is the current owner.
Darren Reynolds posted four photos with the comment: "B&O/PRR 'NY' tower (East Columbus) Columbus, Ohio"
