Bob-

You are right on, and can also add B1353 as Turner St., looking south
from the other side of the tracks.

On B1357, looking at maps and aerials from 1944-1953, it looks like the
overpass was built to the west of the grade crossing and tower. See
attached cut. Is there any information on when the tower was
demolished? I have a memory of seeing it in the early 1940s.
