Looking for help identifying this yard and, in particular, the tower itself. Looking to model a modern mopac yard tower and i finally found this one – but i have no idea where this is. Looking for more pictures but i’ll start with locale first

Thanks! I presume the tower no longer exists? Even under a different flag.

It didn’t last at that location very long only 4-5 years. I called Norbert Shacklette and he said it was moved either Longview or Texarkana. He also said there’s a similar tower in south St Louis at the Lesperance Street yard with a crew room attached.
