NYC Sheff "F" Tower - a photo on Flickriver

            New York Central's "F" tower at Sheff, Indiana, ca. 1920's.  This view was taken from the roof of the roundhouse and is looking S/W with the three interchange tracks in the foreground followed by the NYC/CCC&StL diamonds and then the tower.  All 3 interchange tracks were interlocked and connected the NYC's Egyptian line with the NYC's Big 4 route.  It appears that there is a person on the stairs of the tower, possibly the operator.  The wye that was behind the tower has not been built yet.  It's a great old photo and I am assuming that it is a Boldman family photo, but I am not sure.
