Eastern Railroad Discussion > Old units, older tower (CSX X791)Date: 11/17/12 13:51 Old units, older tower (CSX X791) Author: erie833 We'll be seeing a lot of photos of this train tonight :)
I did the chase from just west of Attica Junction to Akron with this interesting move. The neatest part was the trailing GP-30 was facing west allowing for some great "going away" photos. Here are a few of my favorites from today....in no particular order. Both the tower and the units could be living on borrowed time, although my money is on the GP-30 outlasting Nova tower. Passing through Akron. Entering Willard for a crew change. And for the number crunchers : 2445, 2530, 2578, 2563, 2580, 2519, 2446, 2535, 2465, 2470, 2442 Date: 11/17/12 13:56 Re: Old units, older tower (CSX X791) Author: erie833 Date: 11/17/12 14:57 Re: Old units, older tower (CSX X791) Author: MSchwiebert They sure built Nova tower to last! There's less and less of it there every time I see it.

Here is a deeper tele view showing the tower a little better. I can't believe it's still standing.....I try not to sneeze when I'm near it :) RAD Date: 11/17/12 15:50 Re: Old units, older tower (CSX X791) Author: jmbreitigan Very nice series of shots Roger.

A couple old head railroaders I was talking to said that the only thing holding Nova Tower up is the 2 story components for the Armstrong Lever Mechanism.

Nicely done. Thank you sir :) RAD Date: 11/17/12 18:43 Re: Old units, older tower (CSX X791) Author: MDH Great job with those shots Roger. I shot it just east of Hoytville and again at Godsend thanks to a stop there but you really blasted that sucker!

RAD Date: 11/17/12 19:30 Re: Old units, older tower (CSX X791) Author: JimBaker Anybody not familiar with this Tower's location, Google "Nova, Ohio" there are a few pictures of the Tower in better days.
