Crossing_tower_Croxton_NJ-4-72.jpg (image/jpeg, 800x537 89213 bytes, BF: 4.82 ppb)

Since a few people asked, here's a photo from my collection of the crossing
tower at Croxton that I'm working on. I've since been told that the tower
was used to control crossing gates - an armstrong mechanism (countebalanced)
was used to lower and raise the arms. There was a pipe running under all the
yard tracks to reach the far gate.
