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. - Paul The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List Sponsored by the ELH&TS http://www.elhts.org ------------------------------ End of EL Mail List Digest V3 #1976 ***********************************
