| Built in 1944, NASSAU Tower was named after one of the buildings on the Princeton University campus, Nassau Hall. The tower was built of brick with a concrete foundation, has a peaked slate roof, an internal staircase and like many other similar towers along the NEC, has no bay window. NASSAU contained a 35 lever US&S Model 14 electro-pneumatic switch machine with 21 active levers. The tower once controlled a full five track crossover and access to the Princeton Branch, as well as 45mph turnouts located within the interlocking. Amtrak removed NASSAU Tower from service in the mid 1980s. |
