B&O Depot: (Satellite)
"Mansfield" Tower: Pennsy vs. Erie: (Satellite, it was across the Pennsy tracks from the Union Station.)
"B&O Jct" Tower: Pennsy vs. B&O: (Satellite, it was parallel to the Pennsy tracks.)
Roundhouse: (Satellite, the grain elevator has reused the land.)
The route in the weeds on the left was the B&O, and the route with the nice ballast on the right was the Erie.

Union station was in the southern quadrant of the crossing. Pennsy was on the east side and Erie was on the north side.

I got the railroad names from this map and noticed that the B&O Station was a little west of Mulberry Street.

| Mark Hinsdale posted A long westbound Conrail manifest train bangs across the former Erie Lackawanna main line at Mansfield, Ohio on a hot July, 1978 day. Mansfield was once a very busy railroad and industrial town, with two key New York to Chicago routes and two other secondary branch lines serving the city. Today, this ex Pennsylvania Railroad artery and one short line are all that remain, and the both of them together see only a handful of daily movements. Like many other so called Midwest "Rust Belt" cities, Mansfield has suffered the loss of much of its industrial base over the years, and with it, the loss of rail traffic that once moved through here.

| 1 Looking down the PRR mainline this "B&O Jct." Tower I think this is looking West.. Photo by: The Chip Syme Collection B Tupper Upham: Three towers in that town (Mansfield, BO Junction, and MD), that had to talk to one another before lining a train through their plants. Looking east on the PRR. (And the B&O, which actually heads south). Cory T. Branham: Looking east. Union station and the Erie are in the distance. |

| Brett Dunbar posted In 1976 a Newark-bound B&O train passes B&O Junction Tower, where the B&O crossed the ex-Pennsylvania Railroad Fort Wayne Line at North Main Street. Western Maryland power is on the lead. Eric Porch: This photo was taken by the late Paul Geiger. View obviously is looking NW with Ohio Brass parking lot behind him. I would sometimes spend an afternoon there with the late Steve Darling, the second trick operator. Brett Dunbar: Eric Porch yes I scanned the Geiger collection and knew him too. Tim Shanahan shared B Tupper Upham: Most likely No. 88 or CU-36 by that point. |
Ronnie Amore posted two images with the comment: "A 1940 view of the PRR Roundhouse, that was off Oak St. in Mansfield, OH., and a 1947 aerial photo of that location. Roundhouse was torn down in 1943."
