It still has the metal staircase. I would have thought CSX would let a scrapper have it to remove an "attractive nuisance" (liability suits). The lowest platform in the image is on an angle. It looks like something has already rusted and broke.

It's 5 degrees on this January 2010 evening and I'm trying to figure out how to take a time exposure of the B&O Coal Tower in Akron Ohio on Eastwood Ave. with my brand new Nikon DSLR. This shot was an accidental success. |

B&O coal dock Akron OH
Kevin Capurso: This was a B&O yard active until 1980s. Once CSX consolidated the B&O lines they left this yard to the wilderness. It's just East of downtown Akron.

Akron, OH. Picture taken sometime in 2023. I haven’t been back down there lately but it appears the top of the tower was repainted yellow by vandals.

The B&O....Akron Ohio."
[Note that the roundhouse doesn't have a turntable. Just a bunch of turnouts.]

The highs and lows of Western Maryland geeps....on 04-08-1982 in Akron, Ohio. WM 6419 is of course an original WM GP9 unit chopped nosed by the railroad. The 5995 is a hand me down former C&O GP9 that retained it's high short hood. This spot under the old coal tower was where units got the sand boxes refilled. The 6419/6921 pair has finished and is headed back to the engine house area. While that coal tower still stands, all tracks you see here are gone today. |

In 2010, it looked more like a yard instead of a wooded area. If anyone worked at the yard and knows what the foundations were feel free to comment."
