Description:  The track on the left is the main. CVSR used to use it to go to Canton. Metro high rails it every so often since they own it too.

Description:  The one time CSX and predecessors under the bridge. The track off to the left formed one leg of a wye. It would pass the coal tower after crossing Eastwood Ave. The yard office stood on this side of the bridge to the left of the lower track until a fire of suspicious origin claimed its life in 2013.
