Looking eastbound down the NKP at Clarks Hill. The interchange track is to the right. Both the canataliever semaphore and the dwarf semaphore are pipe operated from the tower. The east end of the NKP siding was also controlled by the tower. 1968. (John Fuller Photo)

Closeup of the dwarf semaphore on the NKP at Clarks Hill. Compare this with the photo above from a year ago. New color light signals are being installed to replace the pipe operated signals possibly in preperation for converting this segment of the NYC to TCS. 1969. (John Fuller Photo)
