Ironville: (Satellite, the car shop buildings have been removed)
Rail Transfer: (Satellite)

| East Toledo Historical Society posted Wheeling and Lake Erie Car Shops in the Ironville Yards on Front St. This was a large car rebuild operation that required many employees. Operation was moved elsewhere in the1960's. Robert Stewart: Located where the East Y goes through and by the bone yard. Also used as the old rip track. Foundation's are still there. [Then nature has covered the foundations because I could not find them on a satellite image.] |

| Craig Hensley Photography posted Scenes from the Railroad The Ironville Rail and Transfer loop sits on a 70 acre lot along the Maumee River in Toledo, OH. With over 28,000 feet of rail which is serviced by in-house locomotives. Onsite there are liquid bulk transloading racks and pumps to move material directly from rail to truck and vice-versa. There is also a self-unloader receiving hopper and conveyor system that can receive bulk products directly from vessels at 2,000 NT per hour.

Always cool to see vintage pics of the original Wheeling and Lake Erie. I grew up in Bedford, Ohio and have walked many miles of that line as a kid in the 70s during the N&W days. Much of the line is the same today as it was then.
