Does anyone have any photos of the inside of this type of crossing tower? I am building a model of a similar tower that stood in Newark, NJ and would like to add some interior detail. Also, what color where these towers painted? Thanks, Ed - -----Original Message----- From: erielack-owner_@_lists.elhts.org [mailto:erielack-owner@lists.elhts.org] On Behalf Of Paul R.

I've since been told that the tower was used to control crossing gates - an armstrong mechanism (countebalanced) was used to lower and raise the arms. There was a pipe running under all the yard tracks to reach the far gate. - Paul The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List Sponsored by the ELH&TS http://www.elhts.org The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List Sponsored by the ELH&TS http://www.elhts.org ------------------------------
