Note the water tower to the right of the coaling tower. That is a big coal tower. It looks like it fuels locomotives on the mainline during their trip rather than in a railyard after their trip.

Pennsy is the other railroad.

I could not find the towers in the oldest aerial that was available. At a scale of 17,000, it should stick out like a sore thumb even though the shadows are small in this photo. Note only has OH-21 yet to be built, avenues 5-7 are also missing.

I got the next available aerial photo because I was in disbelief that I could not find the tower on the 1952 aerial. I guess it was torn down early to make room for OH-21, which is being constructed in this photo. And avenues 5-7 have been built.
