Description:  CSX mainlines cross the bridge and the former Cleveland to points south bears right below. The track to the left goes to the Hill Yard and also constitutes a part of the wye that once was used to turn the 4070 for CVSR. Of course years ago, many steamers were turned there.

There used to be a 4 stall roundhouse behind the red container.
Title:  There used to be a 4 stall roundhouse behind the red container.
Description:  The Loop Track circled around behind the roundhouse and connected to the CT&V, thus allowing the B&O to not only interchange, but also run an east-west train, north-south. The track ahead of me has been severed at Eastwood Ave. It continues behind me and can be seen in the previous picture.
