End of overhead wire at Dover, NJ. The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western completed electrification of its busy commuter line between Hoboken and Dover in 1931. Thomas Edison was at the throttle of the first electric train on the line. [September 1982]

NASSAU Tower at Princton Jct., NJ in July 1978. It was built in 1944. Railroad towers were often named and this one was named for Nassau Hall on the nearby Princeton University campus. Nassau Tower has since been remotely controlled and is closed today, but it still stands. [Nikkormat FTn, Kodachrome]

That's a beautifully maintained right-of-way @Needa. Those trains run pretty fast, right?

Yes they do but that one had just stooped at the station. The travel at up to 70 MPH in metro areas and were planning on faster above West Palm Beach in route to Orlando.
On the right they are building condos. Caveat emptor!

This was Mifflin Tower at Mifflin PA, one of classic Pennsylvania Railroad design, then owned by Conrail. It was open at the time (May 1981), but was closed and demolished several years later. [Nikon EL-2, Kodachrome]
