From SR57 west into Rittman.  Contributor's Pick!       
The track that extends farthest to the west was the eastbound. To the right of that you can see the Rittman Restaurant/Depot. Covered hoppers are in #6. #5 is to the right of them. The tracks were never that contorted until Conrail got a hold of them. Bridge in foreground crosses Wayne County 70. It was rebuilt in 1985 after the second track was removed. We interchanged with the B&O/Chessie here and they serviced Morton Salt and Packaging Corporation of America.
