Wordless Wednesday #126 Rexford Wye

Just south of the Rexford Tunnel at MP 184 there used to be a wye track, possibly used for turning helper engines assisting with the long grade out of the Ohio River Valley. According to the W&LE valuation maps the wye was retired on 8-6-1923, but in Google Maps Terrain mode you can still see the remnants of the wye's road bed after 94 years.
