    These two towers have been preserved and are owned by the same group. http://wvrrm.org

    The tower has been moved across the diamond and "shortened" down a story. It is in conjunction with the Marion depot restoration. A lot of work has been done and the model board and levers(a Taylor electric machine) looks like new.

Dearborn IN

CP 3Y Pittsburgh
     When Jeff Gast and I did our "tower blitz" back in 2002 word was someone was wanting to buy the tower,which sits along a bike trail,and turn it into an ice cream/refreshment store,using the third story as an observation area. I'm not aware that this has happened,if the tower was destroyed or what.
