Massillon Monday - CR 7741
Author: refarkas

A while back I posted a wider view of this photo, but here is a closer crop.
It is March 1980 in Massillon, Ohio, and a pair of helpers headed by CR 7741 is heading east past MACE Tower. The line crossing Conrail to the left of the tower is now RJ Corman. At the time it was the Chessie System line from Warwick, Ohio to Bridgeport, Ohio.

The moveable point diamonds are interesting.

QWhy would they need helpers in Massilon? That's very odd to me as I can't recall
any major grades in that area.

I agree with Lance - enjoy any engine/train at a tower.
Great shot.
