Erie Jct in Lima, Ohio has recently undergone some big changes. Most
notably, a new underpass was very near the junction, the construction of
this underpass necessitated several changes in track arrangements. Recently,
I had the chance to go up with a pilot friend of mine to photograph some NW
Ohio railroad locations. Here are two shots that may be of interest to you
all.

Photo 1: From around 2000', we see the overview of Erie Jct. The EL would
have crossed the B&O/NKP about the location of the CSX power pictured in
this photo. The CSX train is pulling a unit grain train off the "Lima
Industrial Track" which is what the Erie is now known as in Lima. The grain
train was loaded in Elgin, Ohio on the former Erie main line. They currently
load a few dozen trains per year, keeping the former EL rails shiny.

Photo 2: A ground view of the same location. To the right, you can see tank
cars next to the Husky refinery. This is the former EL main track. I am
standing approximately at the location where the tracks would have crossed
South Main Street.

Enjoy,

Eric at CG Tower
