Tower: (
Satellite, just south of the bridge and west of the track.)
Pennsy Freight House: (Satellite?, I could not find it.)
Observation Tower/Smokestack: (
Satellite, I found this while looking for the freight house.)
The Pennsy is now the Heart of Ohio Trail.

What it looked like after the flood of 1959… |
In the second photo we see the turnouts to some industry and the tower on the other side of the river, so the tower was on the south side of the river. The crossing track in the second photo is a connection between the B&O and Pennsy railyards. The Pennsy mainline crossed the B&O just behind the photographer of the first photo.

"The observation tower is a steel, spiral staircase that coils around the tallest structure in Knox County, PPG’s industrial smoke stack built in 1951. The historical chimney served PPG from 1951 until its closing in 1979 and was constructed of reinforced concrete by the slip form method. The tower is a remarkable 280 feet [85m] high, with the observation deck at 140 feet [43m] above 224 steps."
