According to the 2005 SPV Map, this junction is indeed named simply "Junction."

| Tommy Lee Fitzwater posted Year? Howard Pletcher Photo mislabeled, not NYC and not a depot. This is Junction Tower on the PRR on the south side of Jefferson, controlling the junction with the GR&I RR and the Nickel Plate crossing here. GE powerhouse is in the background. Likely ca 1910 when the depot photo downtown was taken. Dennis Boyd Tower was razed in the late-80's. http://www.fwarailfan.net/fortwayne_junction.htm |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Tommy's post I think the concrete in the lower-right corner was part of the foundation. https://www.google.com/.../@41.0715586,-85.../data=!3m1!1e3 |
The STL in the lower-left corner of the topo map is the end of the real name for the Nickel Plate Railroad. That surprised me until I remembered that Lake Erie & Western had a lot of "tendrils" in Indiana. Sure enough, it did come into Fort Wayne from Bluffton and Muncie.
