Posthip Scott sent me this link to a story about an ancient railroad switch control system that is still in use. NBC has a pretty good video summary.
Metra’s 'tower' at the A2 interlock, built 1907. Metra must be the new name for the Chicago Transit Authority |
Switch control system, installed in the tower in 1932. |
Small, gnarly portion of the railroad switches controlled by the Tower. |
NO. Metra is the RTA (Regional). Full gauge, locomotives.
ReplyDeleteCTA is the El. And buses.
