EL RS3 at RU Tower

Dec 1975

Waiting on a signal, 1051 is working eastbound on a local at RU Tower in Sterling,Oh (about 21 miles west of Akron).

It will cross the B&O Washington-Chicago line at the tower. The two railroads paralleled each other for a few miles on either side of the crossing.

CSX still operates the ex-B&O line here (including the route north) but everything else is long gone.
