CX tower was located at Carroll's Interlocking just outside downtown.

GP40 3706 zips by with a local on the main Curtis Bay Jct.
This is the junction of the main and the line to Curtis Bay
Yard.
Curtis Bay is where the coal trains offload their cargo on to waiting

yard.

This is a westbound on the eastbound main in 1994. The line to Curtis Bay is to the left. Another freight is waiting in distance.
3511 again brings its train into the yard. Curtis Bay is on the near southwest side of town.
A pair of GP9's are at the modest service area on 11-5-1978.
Surrounded in a sea of black hoppers, this little SW-1 stands out with its bright Chessie System paint. 10-12-80.

SD9 1835 is assigned as the coal dumper power this day. 11-5-78.
