Dennie McClain: I hired on to the B&O in that building. Known by railroaders as 'The Brick'.

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.

This shows that the southern bridge is the mainline and that the northern bridge is just a connector to the Big Four.

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.

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.

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.
