I would be very interested as well. I am modeling Jacksonville on my layout.
Any information on the tower or Jacksonville in general, would be greatly
appreciated.
Also, was the Wabash tower built before or after the old J&H/CP&St.L line
northward to Havana was abandoned? I am having a difficult time trying to
discern the J&H/CP&St.L track arrangement south of the tower. Hard to tell
exactly where it joined the GM&O and CB&Q. Sadly, the aerial photos on the ISGS
web site are just a bit too blurry to discern that level of detail. A chart
would be extremely useful in solving the mystery. Thanks for your time.
Best regards,
Stan
