It's a June morning in Massillon, Ohio, and a late westbound Broadway Limited races towards MACE tower after crossing the Tuscarawas River. This shot can't be repeated as taken because the Broadway Limited no longer runs through Massillon. The mill in the back left burned down several years ago; the yellow B&O freight house underneath the bridge on the other side has been torn down; the park area to the left has treed-in; and trees have grown up between the ex-CR line on which the Broadway Limited is running and the ex-B&O line which is now RJ Corman (This also blocks the factory's view.).
