    This is BO Tower in Kalamazoo taken on May 6, 2012. It is owned by NS and is the last tower in Michigan. We were not permitted to get on the property to take photos.

    Nice shots. Bummer they don't let you on the property. Kinda annoying how stingy a lot of railroad employees are about getting up close to their property.

    Roger, what are the two lines, the two-track and the single crossing?

    That was the Michigan Central (CSX-Amtrak) and the GRI (NS) with the Grand Elk thrown in for good measure. NS owns the tower and permits Amtrak to cross it. :)
