Update: Greg Bunce posted two photos with the comment:

I ran across a couple more slides I took of the GR&I/Wabash crossing at Wolcottville, Indiana on March 12, 1977. Both are looking west on the Wabash/N&W.

Matthew Ditton Didn’t know the tower was already closed by then
Eric Zerkle Pretty dead by then with the GR&I and the Wabash shut down as through lines.

Attached is photo from John Fuller collection which is from late 60s. I like to think of it as seen with the PRR signboard and maintenance of building years. Thanks for the photo Chuck. Jim
