From The Tower Friday--Barrington - a photo on Flickriver

It wasn't often that a UP freight train would go by Barrington tower while I was working, but on February 11th, 1999, southbound Union Pacific train MJAPR-11 bangs across the J at 10:35 am with UP 2998-8616-3024 and 117 cars. This may have been the one and only freight train I saw there on the UP's' Harvard sub, and it's for sure the only one I photographed. The J put station signs out so I had to go around the RR and get pics of most of them.

Levers out for this move were 14 (lock lever) and 16 (signal lever).

More photos of the tower can be found at the link provided below.
