CR 6635 sb UNS-73B (Somerset,NY to West Brownsville, PA) Center Street Youngtown, OH 3-8-1987.
Lead GE 6635 smokes it up a bit as this empty UNS train received the green flag from the Center Street operator to proceed south of the Chessie-B&O main tracks. The one story Center Street office can be seen in the shadows under the old Center Street Bridge. Yes, this is the B&O main in the foreground that looks rough and beat up with the crossovers from the yard that was in my previous post.
The ore crane/bridge is just edging into the right side of of this photo that was part of the Republic Steel blast furnaces, now all gone, just the cement wall is there.
The old 2 lane Center Street Bridge was removed when the mill went down and replaced with a modern 4-lane road with "ghetto grille" fencing applied.
And of course the Center Street office is long gone, along with many tracks in this scene. The entire crossing of today's NS and CSX has been reconfigured and controlled by absolute signals.
