I wonder if Mr. Dreavers is able to be contacted? I see the site is dated 2005.

MG and AR are gone now too?  Never saw MG, but I did see AR on my trips over there in 2003 and 2004.

Hi, Mike

Here's a look for those interested.

SO many of our venerable (and vulnerable) railroad facilities disappearing. MG and AR towers near Horseshoe Curve are two others recently destroyed.

Sorry I couldn't find plans. I looked at the Library of Congress site but came up empty. Could it have been in the B&O Modeler?

Good luck, Ed

Mike:

I do not know the answer, but I think your post got "lost in limbo", so I am giving it a bump to the top where other people can see it and hopefully help out.

At one time one of the popular train magazines had an article on how to scratch build the B&O Grafton, WV D Tower. I thought it was in o gauge magazine. Does anyone remember this and what month and year it was in. Looked on the o gauge site but could not find it. Thanks Big Mike
