Looking For A Photo - a photo on Flickriver

            I regret that this was my 1st trip to Handy, Indiana tower, located at the crossing of the former NYC's Egyptian line and NYC&StL's LE&W line at MP NYC IH 80.40.  The date was February 10th, 2003.  Growing up only 20 miles north of here, Handy was not somewhere I heard a lot about, not to mention it was 57 miles from nowhere.  I have never seen a photo of this tower while in operation.  If anyone has seen one, which it would be before 1962 I believe, I would love to see it.  Handy was a NYC tower with the call sign "DY".  This view looks south along the Egyptian line, which is gone.  This has always been one location that I have kicked myself in the ass for not getting to.

I did, however, buy a NYC Signal Logbook from Handy that covered section 13 (which appears to be Handy to Danville-ish) and covers 1939 to at least mid-1956.  Very good information.
