A different colorization compared to the postcard at the top.

This shows that the first image in Raymond's post is looking northwest because of the crossing tracks in the foreground and the sharply curved track on the left side. I think the second image is the same view but the artist decided to leave out some details.

| John Counotte posted Railroad B & O depot in Newark Ohio Tim Mee: Actually, the building was built in 1878 and torn down in 1989 according to this... https://railfanning.org/trackside/newark/ I had a B&O radio shop at Parson's Yard in Columbus by then. Les Miller shared An Interesting piece of history! I had the Newark shop and the Ohio Division. I don't remember the Depot, must have been gone before my time. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Rick's post According to a 1909 topo map, the "spoke" that went South was the Shawnee Branch and the spoke that west West was the Columbus Line. So I presume the spoke that goes North was the Lake Erie and the one that goes East was Central Ohio. 1961 Newark & Hanover Quadrangles @ 1:24,000 |

| 1 of 5 images posted by Nicholas Chesrown The B&O roundhouse Newark Oh. Current pictures are off of Google Earth to show what it looks like today . B&O Roundhouse and Rail Yard In 1873, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company built "...the most extensive car shops to be found in the west" in Newark. the facility included ten separate buildings and employed as many as 800 men as machinists, mechanics, molders, pattern makers, Blacksmiths, and car builders. The Newark Rail yard was the headquarters for four divisions of the B&O - the Lake Erie, Columbus, Shawnee, and Central Ohio divisions. A unique feature of many rail yards were the roundhouses and turntables. A roundhouse is a large circular or semicircular building with multiple stalls for the storage and repair of locomotives or other rail cars. A turntable allows a single track access to all the stalls. A twenty-five stall roundhouse was built at the Newark Rail Yard in 1905. The roundhouse included drop pits in several stalls to allow mechanics to work on locomotives from beneath them. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad purchased most of the B&O in 1963, including the rail yards in Newark. Within a few years of the purchase, the roundhouse and most of the other buildings in the yard were dismantled. Stutes, Cory. "Railroads in Licking County." Clio: Your Guide to History. May 14, 2020.

| Darren Reynolds posted B&Os "ND" Cabin Newark, Ohio Start of the Newark Division Photo & Date: Unknown Steven Myers: The photo looks east. This is where the PRR Panhandle line from Pittsburgh joins the B&O line from Wheeling (Bellaire) using trackage rights on the latter to Union Station in Columbus, where they separate. That's a PRR single color position light signal bridge in the background. The rest of the signals all the way to Columbus are also PRR's. B&O's timetable for the C&N subdivision was PRR's as well! I worked as a track laborer for B&O from 1980 to '82, when Conrail greatly reduced using the Panhandle/C&N and I was laid off. This is all G&W now (Ohio Central and Columbus & Ohio River Railroads). Mike Dlabay: John, the 3 track Hill Yard is to the right. The main 12 track (includes the main and siding) is on the Cambridge side, about a quarter mile in the distance. Chris Miller: Would that possibly be the PRR Passenger platform in the distance with the PRR Passenger Station down below the tracks to the left? There was a tunnel and stairs from the station up to the platform and tracks, now filled in by the city. The station still exists and is home to the Licking County Foundation. Matt Fisher: That signal cantilever is still there minus the signal heads. Bill Burge: Was on the last TV train from Pittsburgh to Columbus before closing the Panhandle. Always train orders at ND Cabin. Also worked the PRR yard job. Circus trains would stop and the fire department would water down the elephants! Lots of memories. |
