| Pam Wannemacher posted Delphos crossing pennsy Christopher Allen Howe: That's the Pennsy depot on the left and you can barely make out the bay window of the tower next to it by the train. [The tower was razed in 1985. The tower was in the northwest quadrant of the crossing.] |
The multiple east/west tracks are CFER/Pennsy. The rest was NKP/Cloverleaf, but the spoke going South was just an industrial spur. Most of the NKP is gone. I presume what is left is switched by the CFER.

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Jeff's post You can also see the Miami & Erie Canal that went north/south through town. Jeff Rich: Yes, this little town had it all. PRR Fort Wayne mainline where T1s and the turbine ran, the Nickle Plate, the AC&Y, Ohio Electric Interurban, the Miami & Erie Canal and the Lincoln Highway. http://www.delphos-ohio.com/Holdg.../interurban_railroad.htm |

| Matthew Ditton posted This one is at Delphos, Ohio where the Pennsylvania and Nickel Plate Railroads crossed at one time. The before shot was taken in March of 1983 by Bill Haines of a southbound N&W local crossing the former Pennsy and with the tower still standing. The former NKP tracks this train was on would be removed in 1998 and the former Pennsy is now the Chicago, Fort Wayne and Eastern Railroad . I took the current shot on 4/2/2023 and there are short sections of rail still leading up to the former diamond on both sides. I'm not sure what year the tower was razed but hopefully someone on here will know. Tim Shanahan shared |

And turning about 180 degrees I found another elevator isolated by the railroad.
