| Rich White posted Erie Railroad "FS" Tower - Elmira, NY - 1936 Union Switch & Signal company photo. Paul James Pritchard: So many sounders. Hope he can tell them apart. James Miccolis: Paul James Pritchard He didn't have to. John Springer: James Miccolis so he just listened to what was coming over them and if it had nothing to do with how his tower ran he ignored it? James Miccolis: John Springer exactly. Dennis DeBruler: This was the third of seventeen photos for this tower: |

| Dennis DeBruler answered Lincoln Sander IV's question Elmira is listed at milepost 272.8 and FS Tower is at 273.0. So it was a couple of blocks timecard west of the depot. This photo shows that it was in the southeast quadrant of 5th Street and the overpass. Evidently 5th Ave. on the photo is now 5th Street. https://maps.app.goo.gl/3KgXU7eMR6j8MVEh8 |
