| GRUNDY Tower was built in 1947 and named after Joseph R. Grundy, a textile manufacturer and Republican Party politician from Bristol. The tower is very similar in appearance to HOLMES, as it is of all brick construction with a concrete foundation and flooring, and no bay window. GRUNDY was outfitted with a 31 lever US&S Model 14 electro-pneumatic machine which controlled a northbound and southbound crossover, as well as access to the small Bristol freight yard. With Amtrak's decision to remove the southbound crossover, GRUNDY's operations were reduced to a MoW base and office. (The Pennsylvania Turnpike I276 can be seen in the background) |
