Quincy, Ohio ... milepost 164.4 was once the busy crossing of the DT&I
and the New York Central. The area was the site of NYC's Morgan Tower and
home to some beautiful semaphore signals. Morgan Tower survived to see
service under Penn Central and Conrail ownership until she and her crew
where replaced by a metal box in 1986. The DT&I depot has been moved
onto private land not far off the right of way where it sits to this day,
though in need of serious attention. Today CSX has replaced Conrail and
RailAmerica runs trains on the former DT&I.
