| Richard Maguire posted East Side yard in Philadelphia, back in the early 1950's when RG Tower was a free standing structure. Photo from my collection, unknown photographer or date of photo. This Tower stood between the eastbound ladder and 'the pocket' track, next to the Main tracks. Darren Reynolds shared |
