Standard Signal Tower.
Kit 1001

|
This kit was constructed using original 1912 blueprints from the Maine
Central Railroad, which were traced from 1898 blueprints of the Boston
& Maine Railroad. This particular signal tower was originally built for
a 20 lever Saxby & Farmer machine. Similar signal towers dotted their
way across the country on many railroads. Such towers would have been
located at major junctions, interlockings and terminal areas.
