| 1 "Manhattan Jct." Tower Photo by: Doug Leffler 1983 Mark DuVall: Train is entering the PRR/AA headed north towards Milan where they will turn right(east) and head to Oakwood Yd in Melvindale, MI. The double track is the PRR Olive Secondary, left is north towards Detroit and right is towards Walbridge & Carrotthers Oh. The track coming into the picture is the original W&LE that went down to Cherry St. Station in Downtown Toledo. If memory servers me correctly, the track was used by the N&W to serve Libby glass. Out of the picture to the left, the AA would parallel the W&LE to downtown where they had a station or shared on with the Wheeling. Over the years, Conrail would sever the PRR by demolishing the bridge(east of here) over the Maumee. They did have a job that would come north on the Detroit line up to Alexis and shove down the AA to the waterfront and service the industries they had there. After the Conrail split, the added the Libby glass work onto the job. The N&W used to serve the industry from Homestead on the east side of the river. Things have changed however. The NS no longer serves any industry and has transferred the work to the AA. The bridge is owned by the new Wheeling. They still use the bridge to run a road train up to the CN's Lang Yd. |
