Winter 1997, I think. If I remember correctly, the local crew was trying to get this thing running to be used in town. Never happened and it eventually disappeared in the great WC world. Anyone know where it ended up, let me know. Waukesha, WI.
This is "start" point of my (our) trip to Grunwald - one of the most important historical place in Poland. As you can see this building is very interesting and unique.
A daylight H70 is rolling east down track 1 as it passes WC Tower.
Built in 1886 by the Erie Railroad, Waldwick Tower (call letters "WC") has seen almost everything Northern-New Jersey railroad has had to offer.
From steam-hauled Erie freight and passenger trains, to NJT's ALP45DPs. Between maroon and grey SD45s, to disco-striped GP40s, it's withstood the sands of time to bridge generations of railroading history. After going through a total restoration only a few years ago, the tower at WC now stands as yet another symbol of American railroading, and the changes it's seen.
WC tower once controlled a 4-track mainline, a complete interlocking, and all movements into and out of Waldwick Yard. Today, all movements on the slightly-downgraded main are controlled by the Mainline dispatcher, located in NJT's ROC in the Meadowlands.
