Toledo, OH: Railroad Hub

I found this map in a Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad group, so the heavy black lines would be part of the NYC corporate lineage.

Toledo 1970.
Dennis DeBruler If my analysis of some other maps is correct, all of the heavy black lines were NYC except for the Carrothers Branch, which was Pennsy. All of the NYC routes were LS&MS except for the two southern routes, which were Toledo & Ohio Central. And Michigan Central and B&O shared the Toledo Branch route.




While studying the topo maps to find the Pennsy route into Toledo, I discovered that the 1956 Toledo Quadrangle @ 1:250,000 has the wrong railroad names of N&W and Conrail. I suspect it is an error in the web interface. Specifically, they linked to the 1978 map instead of the 1956 map. The 1961 map at this scale is correct.
Incorrect 1956 Toledo Quadrangle @ 1:250,000
