South Charleston diamond
This is where the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton mainline crosses the Penn Central at South Charleston, Ohio. The DT&I was running from Ironton to Detroit while the Penn Central (formerly the Pennsylvania RR) line connected Columbus and Cincinnati. There were two interlocked tracks, one linking a northbound DT&I toward Columbus and another, that was unused, linking a southbound DT&I to Cincinnati, plus a cross over on the double tracked PC line. This is a view north on the DT&I main specifically taken to capture the order boards. On this happenstance stop I was fortunate to catch both a PC and a DT&I movement.
