    Here is a photo of the tower in the Avondale, LA yard. Avondale yard is located at the west end of the Huey P. Long bridge across the Mississippi River from New Orleans. Avondale was part of the SP Sunset Route, but was transferred to BNSF as part of the UP/SP merger.

    An additional piece of interest ... the engine repair facility was directly behind me when I took the tower photo. It's interesting to note that whereas the tower appears to be a well-cared-for modern structure, the repair facility appears quite old and in need of a lot of TLC!
