| 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.

Haley TowerTerre Haute, IndianaHaley Tower was built in 1898, in 1926 General Railway Signal Co installed a Model 2 interlocking machine with 40 levers. Haley protected the crossing of Conrail’s St Louis Line (former NYC) with the CSX CED Subdivision, the former Chicago & Eastern Illinois route between Chicago and Evansville IN.In early 1999 CSX took over Conrail’s tracks in the western Indiana area. Work started in September of 1999 as crews started replacing the signals and crossovers. CSX was planning to close the tower. On October 24th, Haley Tower was cut as part of a signal suspension for a 12-hour curfew to replace the entire interlocking. Haley Tower was one of the last operating towers in Indiana.The tower was acquired from CSX by the Haley Tower Historical and Technical Society, which is associated with the Wabash Valley Railroaders Museum where the tower now resides. On January 14th, 2000 Haley Tower was moved 50 feet to the museum property. It currently can been seen every Saturday and Sunday through the months of May and October.Photo of trackwork showing the original configuration with crews working - Haley Tower Historical and Technical Society.
