Although the shot is B&O, JO Tower, in Akron, Ohio on the Marion Division,
controlled this interesting interlocking where the B&O and EL crossed. This
shot was taken from the Market St. bridge, with the tower having been uniquely
built into a city block immediately to the left of the picture.

The Quaker Oats mill, which is now Quaker Square (an urban retail mall built
within the old mill), can be seen in the distance on the right. The mill's
silos are today hotel rooms, with balconies built out from each one over
several floors.
