Bridges and more bridges - a photo on Flickriver

            Hick Tower, or HC Tower as it was known in the telegraph world, controlled no less than five double track bridges over the Indiana Harbor Ship Canal in East Chicago, Indiana, as well as serving as an interlocking tower. The bridge line-up from south to north was PRR (Panhandle)/NYC (LS&MS)/NYC (LS&MS)/B&OCT/EJ&E. Corrections are welcome. The current active railroads here are NS on its former LS&MS/NYC/PC/CR Chicago Line District, and CN on its former EJ&E. The tower may have recently been remoted at some point since I didn't see any operator's car there.

Out of the five bridges, one former NYC, and the EJ&E, are the two that remain as active bridges.
