RE: (erielack) The Ray Scott Collection: XW Tower Paterson

Jim,
 
Thanks for the picture of XW.  Few people seemed to have ever taken pictures of that structure.  it is rather odd looking compared to others.  XW reminds me of towers I saw on the Erie in Ohio.  Was XW closed at the time the mainline was cut over to the Boonton Line in April of 1963?

Ray Scott, a long time EL fan (who did a stint with the company around '64
as a tower operator and signal maintainer), has very graciously allowed me
to share some shots from his collection.  Muchas Gracias, Ray.  I'll start
the exhibition with a biggie: XW Tower in Paterson, along with motorcar. 
The shot was taken by Ray's father, the late George R. Scott Sr.  More to
follow.
