That tower was used until the 70s. I remember it in use as a kid. The upper tracks (Erie) followed a different rail, now a trail.The RAVE tower was still in active use around 1990. When I was boy it was Erie Lackawana. Through trains on it ceased around 1990. Now it is a single track that can be reached from Lordstown. The WLE in Kent or CSX in Kent by the gravel yard, The old Erie tracks still run into Akron but are torn up at many of the crossings. Hudson Tower,was the last to quit being used
I have found only one picture of RAVE tower in use, anyone know where to look for more?
