Vulcan II
Title:  Vulcan II
Description:  I believe this crossing is where the Toledo Terminal (track on the right) crossed the NYC/PC/CR/NS branch known as "the old road" (distant track) had a tower known as Vulcan. Howard tells me that all of the trackage is now gone.

Nasby
Title:  Nasby
Description:  The Toledo Terminal (circle that it was) crossed the NYC/PC/CR/NS mainline known as "the Chicago line" twice. The western intersection (and tower) was known as Nasby. While no longer active, I believe Nasby tower still stands. A potential museum/historical site? This signal bridge protected the Chicago line trains.

Track West of the Upper Maumee River Bridge.
Title:  Track West of the Upper Maumee River Bridge.
Description:  As one gets nearer to the bridge that crosses the upper Maumee river (again we're discussing a railroad that literally ran in a circle) one sees that the residents have started to cover the remaining track with soil and disguise the fact that a railroad ran behind their backyards.

Upper Maumee River Bridge
Title:  Upper Maumee River Bridge
Description:  Note the trestle, this was a swinging portion of the bridge that I believe was never used. According to Wikipedia, a derailment on this bridge on March 17, 1982 caused damage to the bridge that was never repaired and ultimately led to the end of the Toledo Terminal.
