Milan, IN: B&O Tower

(Satellite)

I find it interesting that CSX quit using this B&O route in Ohio and Illinois but still uses it in Indiana.

I like it when the street view driver is enough of a railfan to go down the side streets.
This was Depot Street. I wonder where the depot was.

Darren Reynolds posted three photos with the comment: "B&Os 'Milan' tower, Indiana."
Larry McLin: Double track from there, east. Champs 1954.
Chuck McAbee: B&O can be confounding - some of their Towers are visually 'cabins' and some of their Cabins are visually towers - HN Cabin case in point.
