Broad "Tower" |
| Description: |
Not a tower in the usual sense, and more accurately a "block and interlocking station" in Pennsy parlance, Broad controlled suburban movements from Suburban Station, Philadelphia through 30th Street Station-Upper Level and the east end of the Powelton Ave. coach yards. The 130 lever-frame US&S Model 14 interlocking machine was operated by two leverman. Seated behind the desk, front to back, are the Asst. Train Director, Train Director, Operator and, apparently, two yardmasters (one may have been breaking in). Broad was located beneath city streets in Suburban Station and ran a lot of trains through the day - being quite the beehive during rush hours. Date is approximate. |
