| Located "midway" between Philadelphia 30th St Station and New York City Penn Station, MIDWAY Tower was built in 1944. The tower is standard in design to other towers along the NEC in that it was constructed entirely of brick, had no bay window, has a peaked tile roof and an internal staircase. MIDWAY Tower contained a 35 lever US&S Model 14 electro-pneumatic switch machine with 20 active levers that controlled 45mph turnouts, a 4 track crossover and the junction to the Jamesburg Branch. Today, MIDWAY serves as an active MoW base for Amtrak |
