Notes...

Mt. Vernon CA&C Freight - This station was on a connecting track between the B&O and PRR. It was known as the "Horn" Track and crossed the B&O just north of the B&O's Kokosing River Bridge, then arced northwestward to tie in back at the B&O almost opposite of the B&O station. With this track, PRR was able to serve the feed mill (Farmer's Exchange) and a coal retailer. The tower there, MN, controlled two diamonds, the south (east per railroad) end of the B&O siding and something called the "Red Mill" track. There were "Armstrong" sliding pipes that were strung over the bridge to control the switches, derails and locks, as the tower was south of the bridge, closer to the PRR main track crossing, just north of Columbus Road. --Brad Upham
