| Located in Marcus Hook, just north of the Delaware state line is HOOK Tower. Built circa 1905, HOOK controlled a four track cross-over as well as the connection with the Linwood Branch. The tower is a single-story brick building divided into two rooms, and containing a wood frame second floor for the US&S Model 13 electro-pneumatic switch machine. Unlike the similar in appearance BALDWIN Tower, HOOK had an outdoor second floor staircase. HOOK Tower has a modern asphalt shingle roof (originally slate), as well as modern siding and windows. |
