Massillon, OH: Mace Tower: Pennsy vs. B&O

(Satellite, The diamond has been changed to two turnouts.)

The 2005 SPV Map marks this crossing as "CP Mace."

Darren Reynolds posted four images with the comment: "Conrails (EX-PRR/B&O)
"Mace" tower 
Massillon, Ohio"
Tom Barnett: Mace was also a TO station for the B&O CL&W branch between Warwick and Holloway.
Bill Burge: Looks like an eastbound Office Car Special. Rocked through that interlocking on the Ft Wayne Line many years.

The tower is near the upper-left corner. I included the Cherry Road Bridges to help correlate this photo with today's satellite images.
