(I used to drop a pin on a tower's historical location, but I quit doing that because Google Maps now moves the location of the pin. And the amount of the error depends on the zoom factor. I do hope they fix that bug.)
This tower was at the junction of Pennsy's Cumberland Valley and a connection to the Reading Railroad. Today, just the connection exists. The Pennsy no longer runs north through town like it used to.
