Tower 62 stood in Mineola, TX at the crossing of the Texas and Pacific and the Missouri, Kansas and Texas. The T&P main goes from Texarkana, TX to Dallas, TX. The MKT was a branch line from Greenville, TX to Mineola. Locally this MKT line was known as "The Plug". This painting of Tower 62 resides in the Mineola Public Library. It is signed by Earl Aldridge, 1970.
The concrete base for the tower still exists on the west edge of Mineola. It is about 1/4 mile west of Cheek Street, the last grade crossing westbound from downtown before the T&P (now UP) yard in Mineola. Below are photos of this tower's foundation. The left photo is the west face of the foundation, the right photo the south face.
