Falls Creek - July 2016

I was driving west on I-80 Tuesday (Milepost 97) and decided to stop and see how the interlocking tower at Falls Creek was holding up.

Really does resemble the "Buzzard's Bay" tower, doesn't it?

A little more information please. 

1) What railroad was this previously/originally?

2) What state is this in?

3) Anything remaining inside?

Here is some more info.

In its day, it seems like it would have been pretty impressive.

Sorry, I was traveling in Pennsylvania.

The railroad was the Buffalo, Rochester, and Pittsburgh.  I believe this was a subsidiary of the New Haven (hence the tower design).

I didn't go inside as I was pressed for time.  It's been abandoned for many, many years.  I doubt there is much inside, if anything.

Thanks for the info & link. Living in the Butler area I was somewhat familiar with the BR&P plus I traveled to Punxsy and DuBois on business. Those concrete walls will be there for a long time. They made real concrete in those days.
