First, great shot! I know the location well. My uncle worked as a telegrapher out of C&EI station. The smaller white square building in the back served as a secondary REA building for the B&O and the C&EI. The B&O ran doodlebugs in the 1930's and 1940's while the C&EI was still running steam powered passenger trains. The main REA building is still standing near the tower and was located nearby the joint NYC/IC passenger station.
