Windsor, IL: Junction Tower: Aban/Wabash vs. Aban/CR/Big Four

Jacob Hortenstine -> Railroad Interlocking and Signal Towers

Big Four went east/west and the Wabash went north/south. On a satellite image, you can still see a tree line for the Wabash north of town.

Obviously Big Four was the first railroad through here because it plated the town to be on an angle so that the streets were "square" with its tracks. The Wabash curves and evidently came through town on Vine Street.
