In Branford or somewhere east of New Haven!! :-DI hate the fact that towers are going bye-bye too, be it NYCT or anywhere!! They have been such a fixture of railroading for decades and decades!!! Sad sight indeed!! Thank the Rail Control Center and the "Master Towers" for that!!! |

Some of these closed towers on the els survive for many years before being torn down, and yet others are never torn down. The Flushing Line still has all of its old tower structures still standing, I believe. The old Ditmars Boulevard Tower on the Astoria Line is also still standing. |

I knew it was closed, just a shake-up not seeing it. IIRC, there's one near Parkchester on the Pelham line still in place. Well don't take my word for it...your pal, Fred |

But although the old Ditmas Avenue Tower may be closed, its interlocking machine lives on! It was simply moved over to Church Avenue Tower. |
