Phillipsburg Union - PU Tower

Phillipsburg Union - PU Tower PU Tower Organization is a 501(c)3 non-profit railroad switch tower in Phillipsburg, NJ undergoing a full restoration by Volunteers since 2007.
(1)

Founded by Ron and Jeane Titus in 2007, this former CNJ Railroad switch tower has undergone extensive exterior and interior restoration. The goal of this project is to preserve and interpret the building’s original purpose, allowing the public to experience how the tower functioned many years ago. Today, the building closely resembles its original appearance, with restored and operational switchbo

ards used to demonstrate how the tower once controlled rail traffic. In 2021, a new group of volunteers reorganized the effort as a nonprofit organization. This group continues restoration and preservation work, operates a live railcam on YouTube, and hosts an annual holiday toy drive in partnership with the town and local emergency services. The tower is open to the public on select dates, typically during town-sponsored events. Group tours, school visits, and private tours may be scheduled by contacting us in advance. This page is dedicated to sharing updates and progress on the tower’s ongoing restoration and preservation efforts. The project is run entirely by volunteers. This organization is not affiliated with the Phillipsburg Railroad Historians or the owners of Union Station.

We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with our back of house electronics and computer at the tower which hosts our railcam feed. We are working on the situation to hopefully get the feed back up as soon as possible!

In the meantime, our NS Lehigh Line radio feed remains up on Broadcastify.

Thank you for your patience!

Big upgrade at PU Tower today as we installed a new Wisenet PTZ camera, replacing our Sunba unit with improved pan, tilt, zoom, and night vision; while it’s 4K capable, our current connection will stream in 1080p, possibly up to 2K.
Thank you to the 7 volunteers on site today.
