East Columbus interlocking Tower located 4.7
miles from Columbus Union Station on the PRR-B&O Columbus and Newark Division.
The camera is looking east toward Summit. Stelzer Road is over
head. The NYC (T&OC) is crossing the three track PRR/B&O Main line.
The T&OC line is coming from Truro to the south. It served several
customers north of the crossing including the Ralston Steel Car Co. and ends
just west of Woodland Ave. Photo by

Besides the NYC (T&OC) crossing, East Columbus
controlled crossover switches on the B&O/PRR main and the exit switch on the west end of the B&O yard. East
Columbus was located between Summit tower on the east and Alum Creek tower on
the west. It was a B&O
tower staffed with a B&O operator.
