The topo map above implies that W&LE terminated in a B&O interchange yard. This map confirms that Zanesville was a terminal town for a W&LE branch.

Wood Grain Elevator
While studying the Strauss Overhead Bridge that the B&O used to cross the canal, I noticed a wood grain elevator that was still standing. One can still see the Purina checkerboard branding. Google Maps labels it as a "Animal feed store."
The former-B&O route is now owned by the Columbus & Ohio River Railroad (CUOH). Judging by the cuts of freight cars, it looks like they have plenty of railroad action in this town.
