Greenwich, OH: B&O Junction (GN) Tower: B&O vs. WE/NW/AC&Y/NOH

(Satellite, it was halfway between Pleasant and Center Streets. It might be still standing.)

WE = Wheeling & Lake Erie
AC&Y = Akron, Canton & Youngstown
NOH = Northern Ohio

Darren Reynolds posted three photos with the comment: "B&Os 'GN' tower   Greenwich,  Ohio"

The AC&Y track is now abandoned northeast of Greenwich. Note the "AC&Y Trl" on Google Maps. Wheeling and Lake Erie (WE) now owns the AC&Y route southwest of Greenwich. CSX now owns the Big Four route as well as the B&O route. I assume that WE has trackage rights on the CSX tracks to another junction with the WE on the northeast side of  New London, OH.

Note that some of the building on the right is still standing with some new buildings added to it.
