The photos show that it controlled the siding that was north of town. Today's Sheddens Way Road reuses part of the Pennsy RoW. The aerial photo below shows that it was at the south end of the siding just north of where PA-14 crossed the tracks.

PA-14 was moved between this 1952 aerial and the above 1954 topo map. The map is consistent with today's alignment of the road. There are two rectangles parallel to the tracks. The topo map indicates that the tower was the northern rectangle, which was behind this building.
