'JG Tower'



This is what was called “JG Tower” on the New York Central freight bypass at the Park Street overpass. The Amtrak station would be to the right of it on the south side of the tracks. It controlled the interchange with the Hojack. It was destroyed on Aug. 25, 1957 when a coal train derailed. The operator, Sam Lahood, was killed. This photo was taken by Ted Jackson in September, 1948.
