[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 190981, member: 10543"] MG Tower in the rain in April 1989, with a westbound Conrail freight making its assault on the Alleghenies west of Altoona, PA. I'd driven all the way from Alabama and wasn't going to let gloomy weather deter me from my hike up the mountainside to this remote location. MG stands for "Middle Grade" and the tower was built during WW-II to control crossovers and keep the (then) 4 Track mainline fluid. This remains a very busy line today under Norfolk Southern's ownership. [Nikon N2020, 50mm, Ektachrome] [ATTACH=CONFIG]49656._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
