Stu Nicholson posted three photos with the comment: "Pennsylvania Railroad Tower at Dunkirk Ohio. Still standing and still in use by CSX. The crossing track is the still active former New York Central Line that ran from Columbus to Toledo."

C.G. Tower: Offices upstairs for C&S, storage downstairs. Occasionally you'll find a maintainer there but normally its locked up tight.

Ted Andrews: Tower is from 1942. It replaced a wood-frame one that was destroyed in a major derailment involving a passenger train.

Steve Dickinson: I report there every morning, it's my headquarters.
