    Dow Tower (JR)
    The Dow guarded the crossing of the Big 4 and the PRR in North Anderson. It also was responsible for the tracks running both North and South from there. The coaling tower and tracks at Florida Station were under it's control.

    Neat looking putt-putt. I can't tell if its driver is wearing a tie, but he definitely is wearing a long sleeved white shirt and a spiffy boater. I assume his position in the company organization is a little higher than worker bee, or did he put on his Sunday best just for the photo? :cool:

    That looks like a little kid running away from the tracks. Ghostly.

    I hadn't noticed that, but as soon as I read it, I glanced up and instantly saw it. Whoa.

    That is a little girl crossing the tracks at a decent clip. Yep, you're right. The guy in the white shirt is obviously a little better than a worked bee. The photo was of him and the tower. The girl was just in the way. :)
