Baxter Tower

L&N era Baxter Tower at Loyall Yard. This tower protected movements and the tower operator lined switches for train movements until approximately the 1930s when it was phased out and moved to the yardmasters office. Now present day the switches are all hand throws and traffic is a mere fraction of what it was on this for Louisville & Nashville Line.
