Signal |
| Description: |
This constant-lit signal protects movements on and off the southeast NS/CSX interchange. Back in the Conrail days this was one of the most active signals as this interchange with the Big Four was where almost all the CR traffic entered and exited the Ft. Wayne line to/from Columbus and Pittsburgh and points beyond. |

Signal |
| Description: |
This constant-lit signal protects the Ft. Wayne line Eastbound where the track divides into a two track main and the interchange from the Big Four enters the main. This signal's top head sees very little use, as most NS trains take Track 2 which means the switch is aligned for the diverging route, which means a Medium aspect is usually needed. |

Crestline tower |
| Description: |
The Crestline tower. The day I visted the door on the second floor had recently been punched in or something, however, I did not get any interior pictures, as there was nothing in there but old McDonald's bags. |

Former Amtrak station |
| Description: |
This was the loading platform that loaded many a Pennsy and Amtrak train. The ROW to the right of the center pad was the most recent fatality, when CR relocated the Ft. Wayne so CSX could have their NW corner connector track for incresed train traffic that never materialized. |

Signal and tower |
| Description: |
The "new" signal CR installed at the very end as part of the CSX/NS/CR plea bargain deal to entice CSX with the Ft. Wayne line west of here by building a new interchange track that is used every so often, but no where near the capacity that was envisioned. This signal uses LED's... very bright when on. |
