Dennis DeBruler commented on Dave's post
Judging by the curved tracks, was this tower down by Locust Street and the train is northbound?
1941 Terre Haute Quadrangle @ 1:24,000
Richard Koenig Train is southbound.
Dennis DeBruler Richard Koenig So is Haley up by Ash Street where the C&EI and Big Four diverged?
Richard Koenig Yes, the tower is just north of 8th street, between Plum and Beech (if you look at Google Maps, you can see it as it was saved and is part of the Wabash Valley Railroad Museum.

Kenneth Jackson posted six photos with the comment: "Haley Tower, Spring Hill Tower both are restored and open to the public at The Wabash Valley Rail Road Museum in Terra Haute. While not large it is very interesting. I recommend anyone who is interested in Indiana Railroading pay them a visit."

Here is a Conrail eastbound manifest passing Haley Tower in Terre Haute IN back in March, 1987. Haley protected the crossing of Conrail's St Louis Line with the CSX CED Subdivision, the former Chicago & Eastern Illinois route between Chicago and Evansville IN. The tower is preserved nearby, along with some other local railroad artifacts. March, 1987 photo by Mark Hinsdale
