B&O Towers in 1928

 

B&O Towers in 1928

This feature is a listing of interlocking towers in service on the B&O in 1928. The information was condensed from an agreement book covering the rules and wage schedule of telegraphers, etc., working on the B&O as of May 16, 1928. The book is from the collection of the late Dick Stair of Champaign, Illinois, a retired operator. The offices listed are those identified as serving the duties normally associated with towers. Only those offices representing significant tower-like functions are generally included, and some discretion was required in selecting those to be listed. Single-shift offices were disregarded. The order of offices is as shown in the book, generally as they appeared in sequence along the line of road.
