Hi all, I was down at one of my favorite railfoaming sites yesterday, Blue Island, IL, and I got to thinking--how many other MANNED grade crossing towers are out there these days?? I am not talking about interlocking towers-I mean a tower where all the operator does is lower and raise the grade crossing gates as is done at Blue Island. There are 8 tracks of 4 different railroads that cross Broadway Ave (or is it street?) at this tower. In this day and age, it seems kinda quaint. Let's hear from ya. KEN
I've never even seen one in the past, much less know where one might still exist. LOL Sure sounds like a retirement job I could go for though. Low stress is GOOD.
