| USGS, Highland, 1953, 1:24,000 According to a shadow in a 1951 historic aerial, the black rectangle in the northwest quadrant was the tower's location. So the train is southbound. The map agrees with the aerial photo concerning the connection in the northeast quadrant. In addition to the Highland name on the sign in the photo, this tower was also known by the telegraph codes HI and ND. NYC used ND so I assume HI was Erie's code. |

| Charles Geletzke Jr. posted MILW 3 & ____ at Highland, Indiana on February 23, 1981. (Jack G. Tyson photos) [Note the operator is hooping up train orders.] Ian M Contreras: Used to be the NYC Egyptian line crossing the Erie mainline. There Erie would have been all ripped up by this time. Looks like the tower is boarded up as well. Nowadays this is the end of double track on the NS. |
