      Cool! By chance do you have views showing any of their nearby interlocking towers? A?, A-2? A-3?. A-4?

      Have one of A-2 and one of Mayfair (C&NW) tower, both as background. I'll post them as soon as I find them.

      Cool! That would be great!

      BTW- Do you know the names of any Chicago towers, as related to Milw and C&NW? I was watching a video this week, and where the passenger lines of those two RRs diverged, they were talking about a tower. And named it after a street at that site. Which name I'd never heard. (And can't recall right now.) Looked like it was brick. Any ideas?

      Tower A-2 was also known as Western Av and was a commuter stop for Milwaukee Road. I have several shots taken around Western Av. I'll post the one that shows A-2 in the background.
      Mayfair tower I have in the background of a photo I already posted on Dec. 16th.

      I plugged in that video again. Found the segment in question. They're referencing that location as "Noble Street Tower." I've never heard this name in relation to the the Milw. AFAIK, all their Chicago towers were lettered, using A & B series. And it's not familiar for C&NW. Of the two RRs, I'd guess must be C&NW?
