AND
 This union station sat on Randolph Street in the southwest quadrant of the diamond with platforms extending along each line. The original interlocking tower was in the southeast quadrant, but was replaced by a newer tower that was built in the northeast quadrant.
Holgate The Cloverleaf depot can be seen behind the B&O depot in this old shot of the crossing of the B&O and Cloverleaf. The B&O station was in the southwest corner of the crossing and the Cloverleaf station was in the southeast quadrant. Later photos and maps indicate that passenger traffic for both railroads may have been consolidated at the B&O station after the Cloverleaf station was torn down. These stations were east of Keyser Street at was once called Quincy Street (which ran parallel to the Cloverleaf tracks). The B&O and Cloverleaf had a shared freight house on a transfer track that crossed over the northwest quadrant of the diamond. I am not sure if this is the same freight station that is still standing (but it probably is).
Holgate This freight station was East of the SR-108 crossing.
Malinta  
Malinta The freight station here was a converted boxcar on a platform.
