CSX train R136 blasts eastward past Sterling tower at mp BG155.5 on the morning of June 3rd 1989 with a trio of ex-SBD B36s and 1 Chessie GP40-2. This junction is where the Erie and the B&O once crossed, and where the CL&W subdivision still branches northward for Lorain and Cleveland. The tower, which was staffed by the Erie and then Conrail, has since been torn down and the Erie rails have been pulled up.
