A northbound Penn Central freight on the former New York Central has finished its descent of the Lake Erie escarpment and is about to cross the former Nickel Plate Road (now Norfolk & Western) at Ashtabula's NP Tower. This line connects the New York Central mainline through Ashtabula with the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie in Youngstown, Ohio.
