| NYS&W GP40 #3040 heads out onto the street-running portion of the Utica Branch at Schuyler Street. The building mounted to the tower just to the left of the locomotive actually dates back to the canal days and was relocated, and mounted on this tower, by the DL&W in 1952 to control the crossing gates along the street from. Amazingly, this tower was in use until 1987, when the NYS&W finally automated all the crossing gates along this stretch of street-running. The NRHS chapter bought it and has restored and preserved it. |
