Nassau Tower
Title:  Nassau Tower
Description:  Enlarged from a contact print of a 1/2 127 frame - NASSAU was only 4 yrs old in this shot. It had a35-lever US&S Model 14 electro-pneumatic machine with 21 working levers and controlled brand new 45mph crossover turnouts. The tower and plant were rebuilt as part of a World War 2 initiative to replace mechanical towers, here replacing one built in 1900. There is a full five-track crossover with the Princeton Branch entering from the south before turning into the No 5 track. There is also a No 6 track for storing the Dinky.

Pennsylvania Railroad westbound depot
Title:  Pennsylvania Railroad westbound depot
Description:  Enlarged from a contact print of a 1/2 127 frame - The two story depot at Princeton Jct is seen from the north end of the Princeton Branch platform, where a rather unique looking signal head holds four aspects. The rather grand station was torn down (or at least decapated into a single story structure) sometime after this shot. This transfer point would be used by three generations of the Freericks family for at least forty years after this shot.

Penn Central E44s with freight in the rain
Title:  Penn Central E44s with freight in the rain
Description:  A friend just e-mailed asking for a Penn Central shot... well, even though this is a Conrail train, it looks pretty PC. A pair of Penn Central E44s pulls a long freight through Princeton Junction in one of my very first railfanning shots taken with an SLR (my Dad's Argus Cosina). While I still have the camera, I have no chance of ever seeing this rainy day view again.
