Lansdale crossing gates

For a question raised on Operations ... under General Railroad Discussion, does anybody know when the manual gates at Lansdale were changed to automatic and the elevated control shanty removed?

Re: Lansdale crossing gate conversion - watchtower preservation?

P: The Borough of Lansdale was slated to receive and preserve the watchtower after the October 2007
removal of the structure by SEPTA B&B. A mention in local media was that it was to be placed for use
and/or on display at Lansdale Memorial Park (East Main and South Line Streets - 1/2 mile E of Lansdale
Station) at a later date. Not sure if the Borough of Lansdale ever followed through on this...MACTRAXX
