I don’t know what kind of crossing protection was used until 1948 when Wade Tower was built. Wade is a brick tower that is still standing, but unused. Photo is courtesy of M. D.

The C&O structure, which guarded the C&O/Monon crossing, was built circa 1948 to replace a wooden structure, and was closed a mere 6 years or so later circa 1954 when CTC was installed on the C&O and the interlocking became automatic. The engine is directly over where the Monon Michigan City Branch crossed immediately west of the building. |
