[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 812081, member: 10543"] From 11/14/1981 at Weehawken, NJ, the former New York Central TU Tower beneath the Pallisade. It had been closed by this date. Towers were once common structures at junctions and numbered in the thousands in North America, but nearly all have succumbed to technology and most have been demolished. They were often identified by their telegraph call letters, in this case TU, probably chosen for its location at the TUnnel. The New York Central once operated a large freight and passenger terminal here on the Hudson River. The tunnel entrance as seen on the left was first punched through Bergen Hill by the New York, West Shore & Buffalo Railroad in 1885. The Hudson-Bergen light rail line runs through the tunnel today. I don't know when TU met its fate, but it's gone. [Nikon EL-2, Kodachrome] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1981-11-14 002b TU Tower Weehawken NJ - for upload.jpg"]397480[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
