Listen Later

Welcome to the first episode in season 3 of Living with Steam.

In July of 1949, John Prophet paid another visit to New York Central’s Bay View (BV) interlocking tower, which was located in Blasdell, NY. In reality, John stopped by BV tower accompanied by his sister Annette and a few of his close friends six out of the seven days during the week of July 24; recording a few trains every evening.
