It looks like the tower controlled a wye.

The photos show that the tower was close to a river and the tracks were close to a hill. That rules out the west leg. I don't see a candidate along the southwest leg, but I dn along the north leg.

Topo maps don't normally mark the location of railroad towers, but it looks like this one did.
