AC Tower.
Title:  AC Tower.
Description:  It has lived on this side of the tracks for many years. It is only 66% it's as built height. It would have cost an additional 10 grand to build it full scale. It excersizes no influence on the tracks around it. Still, from the inside an operator can line a train on the circuit board, which is fully functional. There is a scanner inside and the operator takes his cue from that.

Crossing watchman's shanty.
Title:  Crossing watchman's shanty.
Description:  This was at Kenton Ave. I remember the watchman being out in any kind of weather and watching over 8 tracks. Not only Big 4 and EL through trains, but an almost constant parade of yard engines. A stop sign in the day and a red oil lantern at night.
