The square in the lower-left corner of this excerpt on the west end of the yard by the mainline tracks is consistent with the photos of the new tower. I also included the roundhouse in the map excerpt.

Not My photo.  Amtrak Tower C. Sometimes called C Tower. Built by the Pennsylvania RR as 1 of 4 towers in New York City's Penn Station.

Original Interlocking plan attached. I remember seeing the operator in this tower as I would commute to Long Island, NY on the Long Island RR.  Occasionally the operator would use a tower whistle and point out the window to the engineer to signal trains.

This was remote controlled to Amtrak's CETC center called PSCC.  Penn Station Control Center.
