Well done! Which line was busier? Looks to be a good spot to catch frequent movements.

See previous image for comment on signal with "P"marker. Near track was the PRR/PC "104" or "103" track that split off from the two mains at "Lambert" (Waterloo Rd.) and went to South Arkonn yard (less than a mile behind the photographer). PRR/PC single track continued then from S. Akron Yard to JO interlocking where the Pennsy again shared trackage with the B&O to Akron Jct., where the "Hudson Secondary" separated and ran parallel to the B&O to Cuyahoga Falls and then through Silver Lake and Stow to Hudson. That was the first rail line to reach Akron, about 1854.

104 ran from Bridge 16 to Lambert, 103 ran from Crosier St. to JO. Nice shot.
