I have a strong feeling that the engineer is leaning out to snag orders and messages from the block operator, by the use of the same contraption to deliver orders to the conductor shown in an earlier photo. Orders and messages are to be delivered to both conductor and engineer.

Those were the days....

The conductor grabs train orders from Pennsylvania cabin car (caboose) #477319 attached to an eastbound freight train
at Kentland, Indiana in April, 1962.

The good ol' days. The LIRR was owned by the Pennsy during their glory years. We love our Keystones.

I was the extra duty operator at Montauk many times. It was a home run of a tour. I've seen that hotel which still stands today. The hotel has some interesting stories of its own. I'd post a link but I forgot its name. Something with an "M"?
Morris Park had a tower of its own, Dunton. Some operators called it "Fort Apache". It was surrounded by tracks with no easy way to get anywhere.
I had beaucoup negatives of towers and equipment long gone. My ex-wife liked the container they were in and pitched them. I regret not deciding to give them to Arrt's Arrchives before realizing they were already gone.

Is that Montauk Manor is the background of the 2nd picture?

I have stayed there a couple of times... Some complain that it gives off a nursing home vibe, but I like it.

That's it.

Wild that trains just ran through the middle of towns on ground level.

Agree....!
By the looks of it, I'd guess that it's the depot in Milwaukee....
