These eight-sided towers were a fixture
along the Milwaukee Road, and similar designs were used by other railroads. These
towers housed a gateman who manually raised and lowered crossing gates to stop
traffic when a train was coming. They were elevated so the gateman could see down
the tracks over traffic and other low-level obstructions. Elevated towers were
usually placed at busy grade crossings where frequent train moves required additional
street traffic safeguards. |
