Re: Tower Closure
Unless you've worked for the RR like we have, I don't think others really understand the feeling of loss when these things happen. "Your job is abolished. Have a great day!" I visited that tower back around 1972. When I worked at Carleton tower, I befriended the midnight N&W operator at Romulus. He eventually went to their bridge, and one day he and I walked from the N&W bridge over to the CR bridge. I think we followed the track via "YD", but it's been a long time ago!! Who would have ever imagined operating a bridge in Detroit from New Jersey?? I know Carleton tower is still standing. May need a day of mourning if I ever learn it's been demolished (like so many other places I worked!).
