EL view west at Mansfield Reformitory.
Title:  EL view west at Mansfield Reformitory.
Description:  Even though I had stayed on the right side of the do not sign, I was visited rather quickly by a prison guard. He was very kind and polite and I quickly volunteered my license. He copied pertinant facts and was quickly backed up by a second guard. Fortunately, I had seen a train coming uphill and he allowed me to photograph it. So to him I say, thank you.

Title:  Remnants of EL.

EL crossed SR13 and a creek and finally the B&O.
Title:  EL crossed SR13 and a creek and finally the B&O.
Description:  The EL searchlight signal was the home signal for the B&O diamond. The CPL in the distance facing the other way is featured in my other Mansfield album. That signal guarded the northbound approach to the EL diamond. Originally, the EL would have curved to the right of the crossing protection. This track is a connector track for NS.

Description:  EL controlled the B&O interlocking and Pennsy controlled their interlocking. Even if we had a clear block at the B&O, if Pennsy was running something, we would still be held right here.

Description:  This industrial spur leads to the GM Stamping Plant. At one time Olds and Caddy. The plant is to the right. As head brakeman on the 3rd trick crew, I often had to man a switch next to this bridge. When the wind blew, I knew of no place colder than right here.
