| In Summit
the DL&W (later E-L) had a tower built into a rentention wall,
just beyond the edge of the east end of the station platform. In
terms of what it was used for by the DL&W, that is unknown to
this author. However in the 1960's the RVRR would receive their
waybills from this tower. The RVRR would run the engine up to the
tower to receive their waybills and the operator would lower them
down to the RVRR Crew on a string attached with a spring
clip. |
