Title: Wanatah Tower?
Post by: George Lortz on February 27, 2015, 12:06:40 pm

These two photos were for sale on eBay recently.  They are advertized as photos taken at Wanatah.  If so, the Monon must be the track running across the photo left to right, but I'm not sure which direction the shot is taken.  In which quadrant of the crossing did the tower at Wanatah stand, northwest or southeast?

The tower sat in the northwest quadrant, so this photo would have been looking west.

The Monon depot was in the northeast corner of the diamond.  In the depot backside shot you can see the PRR tower across the Monon track.  I took these in March, 1979.

Here's the front side of the Monon depot.

Thanks Rick and Bob.  For once an eBay vendor got it right.
