All of the men that earned livings to feed their families here in the Pennsylvania Railroad's shops in Crestline, Ohio have all clocked out and gone home. In fact, they've probably moved on from this world. Built during WWI, and closed with the Penn Central merger of 1968, what's left of PRR's sprawling Crestline Terminal facility stands as a testament of a different era in railroading. If you look through the open doors, you will see a portion of the roundhouse in the distance, just past where the turntable was. PRR's PFtW&C mainline here is now the Chicago, Fort Wayne, & Eastern RR, west of Crestline, and Norfolk Southern Rwy. east of town.
