I own the track display board from FN tower. I traded a painting of mine to Conrail for the board just prior to the tower being torn down. NS bridge will be the last interlocking tower left when this one is town down. I got a chance to visit Delray Tower years ago and threw some of the levers and signal grips. These switches are now electric powered but in the old days the levers moved the switches by means of rods and couplings requiring some serious force to move them!
