This giant mural on the massive Centerra Coop elevator greets everyone entering Mansfield from the.north. It is a pretty impressive structure and I have seen lots of peoples photos of trains taken against it. The main attraction for most fans here, though, has to be the PRR position light signal bridges, which are located on both sides of town. I thought I had heard a train approachina from the west, but it never showed. And since Ashland doesnt come onto NS rails by the signal bridges, the elevator would be the set up for the final shot. The elevator also utilizes this little center cab switcher woen they receive cars. They only had one there today, but I believe this elevator does receive whole trains from time to time. |
