Roundhouse: (Satellite, Kinyon Street was connected to the parkway after the roundhouse was removed.)
Tower: (Satellite, again, Clemens Center Pkwy has been built on the railroad property.)

| Center for Railroad Photography & Art posted A classic Jim Shaughnessy night scene for #WorkerWednesday: The Pennsylvania Railroad operator at Kendall Tower—at the southern end of Southport Yard in Elmira, New York—hands up orders to the crew of I1-class 2-10-0 locomotive 4587 in 1957. (Shaughnessy-N-PRR-0147) Bob Hinkle: Hands up orders? The hoop is empty , yet the tower guy is still holding it. Great picture in any event. |

| Ethan Williams commented on Bob's comment Orders are clamped to the hoop compared to being strung across in the Y-shaped hoops. [I gather from some comments on other posts that the crew would remove the orders from the hoop and then throw the hoop out the window. Later, the tower operator would have to walk along the track to retrieve the hoop. I'm sure operators preferred the Y-shaped hoops.] |

This wasn't a good photo, so...

...I got this one. The roundhouse on the north end is obvious. The tower on the south side is not obvious. I'm guessing it was near a tree in the northeast quadrant of the tracks and Caton Ave. That is consistent with the photo.
