Repurposed
This brick interlocking tower once guarded the crossing of the Illinois Central Railroad's Charter Line with the St. Louis line of the Pennsylvania Railroad in Vandalia, Illinois. When I visited there in 2007 the tower was serving as the office of the Vandalia Railroad, a short line that operates some of the IC Charter Line in the vicinity. Much of the Charter Line has been abandoned.(Scanned from a slide)
