My Oldest Warwick Tower Slide

This is perhaps my oldest Warwick Tower color slide. It is December 1966/January 1967. Pennsylvania Railroad No. 2613 is on the former Cleveland Akron & Columbus heading an Akron-and-beyond-bound freight over the Baltimore & Ohio tracks which ran from Warwick to Bridgeport, Ohio.

The engineer is about to get orders from the Warwick Tower operator who is behind me.

Today the CA&C and the track from Warwick to Columbus, the PRR, the barely-visible connection between the B&O and PRR (seen in front of the crossbuck on the left), the pole lines, and one of the B&O tracks are gone.
