Wow, great info Charles and that will eliminate quite a few options. Sounds like it may have been one which escaped the rebuild and upgrade. would be interested in contacting the son if he can be found.

Look back on the thread to the lat/long coordinated I posted. That is where the elevated tower is. The caboose was right behind it (to the west).

The caboose would be covered by these trees. I've also marked a T next to the tower.
nydepot wrote:Ah, the "in the lawn" was referring to the caboose.Yeah. I know... it was my fault for not making it clear.... I find it interesting that owner had placed tower in the water... He must had gone through a lot of red tapes to get that approved. Also putting that in the lake... I'm interesting to see what foundation base he was using for that that can resist the ice damages. Steel is no match for ice...
