I spent a few days in Harrisburg over the first part of the holiday weekend. While most of my time was spent near the Rockville Bridge, Iron Bridge Overlook and Cove, I had a few items on my checklist to see in Harrisburg itself.

Saturday afternoon, I went to look for the old Reading Tower, near the ex-Reading station by the current Amtrak station. I got to the location, on the Mulberry Street Bridge, where CP-Capital is. Unfortunately, I did not see the tower. I'm not sure if I simply missed it or if it has been torn down. There were a lot of bridge supports, in which it could be behind, but did not see it. Is the tower still there? Any information would be appreciated.
