MG Tower Model Board; Altoona, PA; August 1989

Mister Harvey was one lucky fellow, managing to get into MG Tower while he was in the neighborhood. The only image we have is of the tower's model board and interlocking machine. The board has gone through some changes over the years, including the removal of the old third track some years earlier. Note the radio sitting on the machine, as well as the note reminding the tower operator to check their blocking devices. Happily, this board is still around today, in the possession of the Railroader's Museum in Altoona.
