<<<Hi list, 
Does anyone know when the PRR closed SLOPE tower in Altoona? I saw a
picture from 1965, in which the tower was still open. I think PC just
had it as an interlocking, even in 1968.

Hi Gary,
I can't find the exact date, but it was done by the PRR right before the
merger.
My memory might be cloudy, but in talking to an Alto operator, PRR added
Slope to Alto following a derailment that struck the tower. No major
damage, but enough to justify the move.
Slope is still controlled by Alto. The Slope board is on the upper left
of the Alto board.
