The "down home" feeling of the Clover Leaf remained constant, however. Malinta agent Jim Sharp was visiting fellow agent and friend Fred Reed on April 1, 1956 when the supply train appeared, creating a typical Clover Leaf scene. Photo: James Sharp, Jeff Sharp Collection Back: Holgate, Ohio was a major interchange point with the Baltimore & Ohio on the Clover Leaf's First Subdivision. In this 1912 scene, the Clover Leaf depot is partially obscured by its B&O counterpart; later it was torn down and both roads shared the B&O's facility. Judging by the folks standing on the platform, it looks like some activity is imminent. Photo: Jeff Sharp Collection
