Hubbard, OH: Ohio Central Coaling Tower Mistake, it was (is?) in Girard

This is a rather different design so that it could serve four tracks. It looks like it had a leg elevator like grain elevators have rather than a skip bucket loader.

The Erie route is of course abandoned. According to my 2005 SPV Map, the NYC/LS&MS route is now used by both NS and CSX.

I spent some time looking at a satellite map. I finally did find the remains of a railyard north of town. But I could not find a coaling tower.
