Toledo, OH: CN/GTW/DTS Lang Yard and Yardmaster and Hump Towers

(Satellite)

DTS = D&TSL = Detroit & Toledo Shore Line Railroad; GTW-NKP joint, later GTW

Street View, Nov 2020
I noted the date because it has a coal train in it. The disappearance of coal trains is an aspect of industrial history that we can witness ourselves.

On January 9, 2008 we are looking north at the north end of CN's (former D&TSL) Lang Yard in North Toledo, Ohio. On the left is the yard office with Yardmaster's Tower, which was dismantled only several years later and on the right was the Hump Tower that once controlled the operation of the hump prior to its demolition.

The turntable still exists and a satellite image still has the hump tower.
