Thanks for posting your pictures ConrailDetroit :) It was really cool for me to see the pictures of Ironville. When I had worked at XoRail ("Zoh rail"), a RR signals engineering firm in Jacksonville, FL (now owned by WabTec), Ironville was my 1st diamond re-deisgn project to upgrade the signal system & add PTC. I had never been there & had only seen this place by using Google Earth views. It's nice to see actual pictures :)
