Active interlocking tower controlling the Harrisburg Station terminal area. The former Pennsylvania RR tower is located in the station building and contains an original 1937 US&S Model 14 interlocking machine with 127 levers.

Tower is manned by a Train Director who also handles crew sign-ins.

STATE tower closed in October 2016. The interlocking was resignaled and reconfigured as part of Amtrak's Rule 562 resignaling project; the interlocking now sports limited-speed (45mph) turnouts and colorized position-light high signals.
