Thomas Markert commented on Steven's comment
Two tracks to single track with sidings at the west end. Looks like all hand throw switches now…
The tower was near where the highway crosses the tracks, on the bottom right…

Thomas commented on his comment
My VW next to the tower…

Did the Dunkirk, Allegheny Valley, and Pittsburgh become part of the NYC?
1954/56 Jamestown Quad @ 24,000

The tower was in the southeast quadrant of the crossing. On a satellite map, all traces of the NYC are gone.
