New Mansfield, OH I-M Facility on ex-EL/Erie RR Main (ASRY)

Received the following via email. 

The Ashland Railway (ASRY) has begun building an intermodal container facility just north of Mansfield, Ohio along the former Erie Lackawanna Railway main line. This photo by Terry Sponsler looks northeast at the construction as the excavating crew grades the large site just east of Mansfield Lahm Airport and north of the Mansfield Speedway. The track in the foreground is the remaining track of the once double-tracked Erie Railroad main line (now ASRY), which connects in Mansfield with the NS (former PRR) main. None of these boxes will roll over Starrucca Viaduct or through North Judson, IN.
