Columbus, OH: Joyce Ave. Tower: Pennsy vs. N&W and N&W Grogan Yard and Roundhouse

Tower: (Satellite, N&W is long gone. Image 3 below allowed me to confirm the location on the aerial photo.)
Roundhouse: (Satellite)
Railyard: (Satellite, all of that scrubby tree land.)

The track diagram answers a question I have had for several years: who owned this roundhouse. It appears it was a N&W roundhouse and the name of the railyard to the east was Grogan.

The railyard was quite extensive.

Did N&W passenger trains go through Joyce Ave Junction to access the Union Station, or did N&W have their own depot?
