The Last Days of Ridgely Tower | |||
Ridgely Tower on the UP Springfield line has the distinction of being the last Armstrong-lever active tower, where switches are actually controlled by the system of pipes and rods in service anywhere in the US. It is scheduled for decommission June 2010. A day was spent catching the action there, mostly Amtrak. | |||
