Bill Haines: Morgan tower was torn down in '87.
Scott Trostel: It was named for Superintend Morgan of the Big 4. They couldn't name it Quincy, the name was in use by the stations of both railroads.
The Armstrong machine from that tower is now in the Coshocton model railroad club.
ReplyDeleteZanesville, OH, is on a field trip list. If I do that trip, it appears I should catch this location as well. Especially if they preserved the interlocking machine on the first floor.
