Nickel Plate/Illinois Central Interlocking Tower |

Good example of a typical interlocking tower. This tower protected the crossing of the Illinois Central Gruber Line and the Cloverleaf Division of the Nickel Plate. According to several sources online, this tower serves as a template for a new tower being built at the Monticello RR Museum. |
