Pennroad (SF) Tower
This tower was at the junction of Pennsy's Cumberland Valley and a connection to the Reading Railroad. Today, just the connection exists. The Pennsy no longer runs north through town like it used to.

| Darren Reynolds posted the above four photos plus this track diagram Anonymous participant 163: Ol WM & Reading interchange |
This is where Alphabet Route trains handed off between WM and Reading. That is why WM is passing by a Reading tower long before railroads regularly interchanged power.

On the above track diagram, I think North is at the bottom so the tower was west of the wye. Thus I think it is the rectangle with a shadow on the left side of this photo.

This is the WM tracks further West in case I missed something. If I did, please leave a comment.
