One more pic,


I think the tracks next to the tower were DL&W/EL,the two tracks nearest to me were NYC.
The diamond was long gone by this time and only a switch remained off to the left.
The other diamonds crossing the NYC and DL&W Oswego line was controlled by "GS", this
office was moved to Clark st East Syracuse when the NYC was elevated through syracuse making
their yard at Geddes st a stub end. After that I guess control moved to Magnolia st and finally to the
EL Geddes st yard master.

BTW the West Shore was not part of Geddes st. only DL&W /NYC were at Geddes st.
