T. B. Long E. B. . . . — Map (db m21140) | | Kansas (Cherokee County), Columbus — Three-Way Interlocking Crossing | | | Unique railroading history is on display before you. A three-way interlocking railway crossing.
The crossing, formerly located in the northern part of Columbus, was donated to the City of Columbus by the Burlington Northern Railroad. At the time, the switch was constructed, it was one of the three built; one in Hamburg, Germany, destroyed during the war, and one in Pennsylvania which was removed within a short time. The crossing before you is the only one remaining.
