| Built in 1932 and named after the Schuylkill Arsenal that was once located in the vicinity, ARSENAL Tower controlled a full six-track crossover as well as the entrance to the South Philadelphia freight yard (Greenwhich), the wye to the High Line and the West Chester Branch. ARSENAL is a two story brick tower with a concrete base and employed a US&S Model 14 electro-pneumatic switch machine. ZOO Tower was ARSENAL's counterpart on the northern end of the 30th St Station complex. Today, ARSENAL Tower is closed and does not serve a functional purpose. |
