A Beeliner arrives (can anyone help me in ID’ing the building behind? Is/was this a signal tower? Or is it just a part of the shops?)

A nice collection of shots. Incidentally, I was able to get most of morning rush hour at Ridgewood in 1982, lots of U34CH’s and a four-car set of RDC’s.
Paul,
I’d love to see those. Are they on-line? Those RDCs were terrible! I mean, I loved to watch them as a railfan, but when I would get them as a commuter! They were either wildly overheated or freezing and they smelled like a school room that had been cleaned with some super industrial chemical, and yet was still dusty and stale.
