Pataskala, OH: B&O Outville (X) Tower and Wood Grain Elevator

Tower: (Satellite, somewhere around Main Street and the tracks. I could not find the feed store location that Benjamin mentioned below.)
Elevator: (Satellite)

Note the signalling pipelines in the lower-right corner. The many tracks around Main Street left room for a big parking lot in the downtown area. This is on the route east of Columbus that B&O and Pennsy shared.

Benjamin St Jean: Sadly that area is down to a single track. Feed store building is still in the same location. Tower is long gone. The station for that location is still around. I don't know if it got moved or not but the station currently would be off to the right of this tower.
