Tower: (
Satellite, this might be the foundation of the tower)
Turntable: (
Satellite, this turntable was probably moved from the western roundhouse. The eastern one was already gone by 1966.)
Darren Reynolds posted two photos with the comment: "B&Os "RV" tower .. Baltimore, MD. This tower was twin to "CA" tower in Terra Alta,WV. And "TCS" tower in Washington,Pa."

B&O GP40-2 #1977 sits way back in the engine terminal at Riverside on April 24, 1977. This unit commemorated the B&O's 150th Anniversary. |
Rotate the photo about 30-degrees to the left to see the correct orientation.
I included quite a bit of the park so that you can orient where the tower was.

Those yellow TTX boxcars are probably car storage rather than revenue freight.
