Alex:
I probably should have clarified that I meant prior to 1970 rather than today.
The tower that was used into the 60's was located at about MP 35.35, and the
interlocking was between two signal bridges at MP 35.12 and 35.51, and McClure
Road is between the east bridge and the tower.
Unfortunately the original signal val records for 1913 show the two signal
bridges at MP 34.99 and 35.27, which would have placed the entire interlocking
east of the tower, and virtually the entire interlocking east of McClure Road.
This seems unlikely to me.

West Eola tower was located just west of McClure Road. That would put it
about 0.3 of a mile east of the current West Eola plant. There is no mistake.
