Location: Toledo, OH - Nasby Tower (NYC/TT)

Nasby Tower was the New York Central's west entrance into the Toledo terminal and the crossing of their main line with the Toledo Terminal Railroad belt line.  Nasby was also the eastbond entrance to Airline Yard, one of NYC's large yards in the terminal.

Nasby was known by the telegraph call "AV" which was displayed on the brick building.

The bottom photo looks north on the former Toledo Terminal, which is pulled up, and no longer crosses the former NYC Water Level Route. The interlocking signal is still in place.
