1983 - a little worn down

I accessed topo maps to determine that it was an Erie tower.

Hi everyone! I am an artist and researcher interested in interlocking towers in and around NYC. Below you can see the beautifully preserved Waldwick Tower just outside of NYC. I am currently traveling around NYC looking for still standing towers and have seen the A Tower / Penn Station or another tower at Marcy Ave station. Could you advise about still standing towers in NYC? I would be very grateful for any answers as text or images in the comments. Thank you!

Norfolk Southern Over Moodna Viaduct In Daylight (And More)

On Sunday, March 10, 2024, Norfolk Southern Train K72 (a new symbol that we learned today, most recently H70) made a rare trip in daylight round trip from Croxton Yard in Jersey City,  New Jersey to Campbell Hall, New York to interchange with the Middletown & New Jersey Railroad (MNJ). Also unusual was the presence of NS 4601 (AC44C6M) in front of the usual SD60E pair (today 6992 and 6937). The highlight of the trip over the NJ Transit Bergen County/Main Lines and Metro-North Port Jervis Line is always Moodna Viaduct. Formerly part of the Graham Line prior to the realignment of the route, this was built exclusively for freight. Another bonus was the shove move on the M&NJ past the Hamptonburgh Caboose Museum (née-RDG 94066).

Dennis DeBruler: Thanks for including railroad infrastructure in your photos. I find the bridges, towers, depots, etc. to be more interesting than the locomotives.
