The Last Manned Tower on the ex PRR Main Line. ALTO Tower is seen here one day after its closure. The eastbound signal bridge sits along the tracks on the left. A sign put up by one of the tower operators from the window of the ALTO, reads as follows: "Goodbye from the Operators." NS Train 20T is seen here passing an NS 961 light power move at the new CP Altoona.
Oh the stories these special buildings could tell. Originally the brains of the rails they monitored, working to insure effecient rail service for our nation! A tribute!
