[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 240055, member: 10543"] Here's a scan of my 35mm slide of the Illinois Central Railroad's interlocking tower (a "signal box" on British railways) at Tuscola, IL USA as taken on October 21, 1990. Manned interlocking towers have become extremely rare in North America, as remote control technology has largely displaced them. This tower has since been razed as have so many others. I've had a lifetime fascination with these structures. They are known as interlocking towers because the track and signal functions are interlocked via a machine so as to prevent human error in setting up a conflicting train movement.
