A Conrail where is it?

I took this photo when I was a teenager. Can anyone identify the location?

tough one. My guess is somewhere along the ex-RDG Alentown to Harrisburg. The switch target may be a clue but I'm not that familiar with them. But it could also be somewhere in Ohio or Indiana. i was thinking Wernersville, PA but probably not.

Could this possibly be by what is the current day West Laurel interlocking?  I would think the shot is looking west with the signals behind us.
