Leipsic, Ohio, has a rich railroad history, primarily associated with the Nickel Plate Road and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The area served as a junction for various rail lines, facilitating transportation and commerce in the region.
Leipsic has two diamond junctions where two lines cross at grade. The former Nickel Plate Road (officially the New York, Chicago & St. Louis, now a part of Norfolk Southern) is the east-west line through town. It crosses the former Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton (later part of the Baltimore & Ohio and now a part of CSX Transportation), and the shell of the interlocking tower that protected the junction is still there. Just a bit further west the ex-Nickel Plate crosses the former Detroit, Toledo & Ironton (this part of the old DT&I is now operated by the Indiana & Ohio Railroad).
At the posted coordinates you can find free parking and a great location to sit back and enjoy the roaring freights right in front of you.
