On December 29, 1979 we see a westbound N&W train lead by the N&W 1370 at Hallett tower in Toledo, Ohio. Hallett was an Ann Arbor RR tower, which controlled an interlocking with the C&O (former PM), the Toledo Terminal Railroad, and the PRR had joint track here with the AA. This N&W train operated daily in both directions from Homestead Yard on Toledo's east side over the AA to Milan, Michigan, where it got on the N&W (former Wabash) and ran into Oakwood Yard in Melvindale, MI a Detroit area Downriver community. Whenever there was a problem with this route, this N&W train would operate over the D&TSL. (C. H. Geletzke, Jr. photo)
Mark Egebrecht: So he is running on the AA? Where does the TT cross?
Jeffrey Dobek: Mark Egebrecht The N&W train is heading north (westbound by the Ann Arbor timetable) on the AA, having passed Ottawa Yard. The Toledo Terminal is the single track crossing in the foreground.

My first surprise was that all of the tracks on the 2005 SPV Map still seem to be there in a contemporary satellite image. My second surprise was that the tower is still standing.
