| SHORE Tower was built in 1896 (making it the oldest surviving switch tower along the NEC) as part of the Delaware River Railroad & Bridge Co's project to build a new bridge over the Delaware River as a quicker route to the Jersey Shore. The tower once controlled the interlocking at Frankford Jct with a US&S Model 14 Electro-Pneumatic interlocking machine. SHORE is all wood with a brick foundation and was originally painted in a brown and tuscan red scheme. As of today, the tower no longer serves a purpose and has long since been boarded up. |
