Project #0754 fixing up and painting the concrete elevation marker I found at Lenox Tower.

Thanks to Bill Saenger for the following information:

"This would be between the ex-NYC tracks and the ex-Wabash tracks just south of the tower.
The ex-NYC track had a 1-degree, 0-minute curve that began 47 feet north of Lenox Tower and ended 561 feet south of Lenox Tower or 233 feet north of the old IT overhead bridge.
The ex- GM&O track had a parallel track on the west side of the NYC track that had a 1-degree, 10-minute curve.
The ex-Wabash track had a 2-degree plus curve going in the opposite direction located in the same vicinity.
The concrete marker that you found with "E 3 ¼" on one side and "1° 00" was in all probability a curve marker for the NYC track indicating a 1 degree curve with a super elevation of 3.25 inches."
