| LINCOLN Tower was built in 1942 and named after a nearby Ford automobile assembly plant (Lincoln being Ford's luxury brand). The 51 lever US&S Model 14 electro-pneumatic machine with 37 working levers within LINCOLN Tower onced controlled a full four track crossover, the interlocking at EDISON, as well as the various wye's, spurs and turnouts of the nearby Ford automobile freight yard. LINCOLN is a "twin" to MORRIS Tower located in Morrisville, PA. Both towers are constructed of brick with a concrete foundation, and both lack the traditional bay window. Currently, Amtrak maintains and uses LINCOLN Tower as a MoW base. |
