This crossing is located at a junction with the NS Toledo, Fostoria,
and Sandusky Districts all joining together. The Sandusky
District splits just north of the junction and the other 2 head into
the Bellevue Yard.
For some reason, the FRA lists this
crossing as being closed. It was closed for a while when NS
rebuilt the junction here, but obviously has since reopened.
