Canton, OH: NKP/W&LE Roundhouse and Railyard

(Satellite)

Not only does the railyard still have most of its tracks, the aera still has some rail-served industry.

This topo map reminded me that NKP bought W&LE in the 1920s. 1958 Canton West Quad @ 24,000

Just a footprint now. What’s left of the Wheeling and Lake Erie in Canton Ohio. This is a satellite pic of it. I retired from Marathon Oil next door and we had some great overhead pics on the wall that showed the old Roundhouse and lines into it. Will try to get copies of the pics.
