T. J. Long, Tower Operator

In September of 1940 Jack Delano was traveling through the state of Pennsylvania. That afternoon while passing through the DuBois area, he spied a railroad tower, and decided to pay a visit. The operator there was a Mr. T. J. Long, and he graciously allowed Mr. Delano to photograph his interlocking facility. The railroad(s) served weren’t mentioned with the photograph, but I’ll speculate that this was protecting a junction of the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads.

Mr. Long was also the president of the Tri-County Farmers Co-op Market in DuBois.

  1. Some of these pictures remind me of many objects we took for granite back when i was learning to fix or repair things.
    Telling my age am I?
    The stories that man could tell you in regards to railroads, sitting around the pot belly in the General Store.
    Thank You Jack
