Hello all

I have a quick question... where was Niles Junction on the B&O/C&O? I tried looking online but couldn't find a simple answer. Figured folks here might know...

On the B&O mainline east of Newton Falls and Lordstown. It's about 1.5 miles east of SR-45, where the ex-PRR Alliance - Niles line goes underneath the B&O.

There was a double connection from the B&O to the PRR as the PRR had trackage rights over the B&O from Ravenna as part of the Cleveland / Youngstown / Pittsburgh route.
