Cement: (Satellite)
NOW = Northern Ohio & Western Railway
This "town" is more railroad and industry than residential.

| Mark Hinsdale posted Maple Grove OH A westbound Norfolk & Western merchandise train bangs across Conrail's ex Pennsylvania Railroad Carrothers Branch at "DN" Tower in Maple Grove, Ohio on a sunny February, 1978 afternoon. The train is on the former Nickel Plate Road main line between Bellevue and Fostoria OH, where NKP's fleet of 2-8-4 Berkshire Type steam locomotives, once provided Nickel Plate Road's famous "High Speed Service" between Buffalo and Chicago.

The quarry has grown quite a bit since 1960. The railroad spur has also crossed N County Rd 31 to add a connection to the NOW tracks.

The plant has two kilns, a pile of coal and covered hopper loaders, so it makes cement.In addition to the NOW connection, NS is also serves the plant. This satellite image caught them switching the plant. I added a blue line between two long cuts of cars that were setting on their mainline. The cut on the right has two locomotives on the frontend. I have not figured out what kind of liquid product is handled by the tank cars and the big tanks.
