Youngstown, OH: B&O Ohio Junction (OW) Tower: B&O vs. B&O

(Satellite, according to Tod's comment belo, the foundation of the tower.)

Darren Reynolds posted two photos with the comment: "B&Os 'OW' tower (Ohio Jct.) Youngstown,Ohio."

Darren Reynolds: Chuck McAbee Did it have a Interlocking machine?

Chuck McAbee: Yes - It controlled crossovers and directional passing sidings on the Akron Main Line Sub and the connection to the Lake Sub to DeForest Jct and then on to Painesville.

Tod Fillman: I believe that power pole is still in the same location beside the old tower foundation.

I used this map to understand Chuck's comment.

I then traced the B&O south from Girard to determine that the Lake Erie branch crossed the river in the upper-left corner of this excerpt. But on a satellite image, I traced that track further south because it does not join the mainline until here.
