Yard master tower was often referred to as the glass house, as shown in the pix. The interlocking tower was leveled over 15 years ago.

The Glass House was over left about where that brown portable building is. Never heard the tower called either name when I worked there.

The 539 is on the 40 lead. The photo was taken from something on the 50 lead. The 60 lead is to the right. And the 70 had been in the dirt area farther to the right.

When I worked there, the 40 lead was to the left of the tower, and track the engines are sitting on was the inbound freight lead, then the five-oh, six-o, even-o, and tie pile. The TP is gone, and it looks like the 7-0 is pretty much gone too.
