NYC Handy Signal Maintainer Tool House & Oil Pit

            I have received from the Allen County Historical Society of Lima, Ohio, all the information on all the buildings at Handy, Indiana on New York Centrals Egyptian Line, located at the crossing of the Nickel Plate (LE&W) Peoria Division.  I will go from north to south through the interlocking.

So this is Building #8, the Signal Maintainer Tool House and Oil Pit, located in the S/W quadrant of the diamond. 
 This building was built in 1916 by the NYC RR.  

This photo is looking N/N/W from the NYC tracks.  Tower is seen in the distance.
