Chillicothe, OH: Renick (XD) Tower: CSX/B&O/CH&D vs. NS/N&W and N&W Renick Yard

(Satellite, the tower was in the southwest quadrant.)

CH&D = Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton

B&O crosses the N&W twice in this town. Once by the original B&O a few blocks north at their depot, and again by the CH&D, which became part of the B&O.

Darren reynold posted five photos with the comment: "'XD' tower.(Renick)    Chillicothe, Ohio."

David Johnson: This was the former CH&D then B&O’s Wellston Sub of the Toledo Division crossing of the N&W at Chillicothe, Ohio. Now CSX crossing NS. Very little action there today as the CSX local serves the local Paper mill as the only remaining customer. NS still very busy through here.

The EarthExplorere does not have the 1957 photo that HistoricAerials has, but it does have a 1960 photo. Using both photos, it appears the tower was in the southwest quadrant.

This topo map shows a Renick Junction further east on the original B&O where a connector from the CH&D joined it, but the 2005 SPV Map agrees that it Renick is where the CH&D crossed the N&W.

I included the N&W Renick Railyard that was south of this junction because it still has all of its tracks.
