Out of Service Equipment Removal
CSXT Independent Sub-Contractor Pam A. removing one of the old B&O relay boxes
near Exchange St. in Akron. (MP BG130.5)
Any equipment left in these boxes became her property and most of it was donated to various sources.
Eastwood Ave. Akron,OH
Not sure if this was an old B&O crossing watchman shanty, or if it was something else,
like a track car shed, but the vandals got to it.
