Tower 119 in Dallas

July 81

I was on board the Inter-American at the east side of Dallas when passing Tower 119 at T&P Jct (called MP Jct at the time).

Looking north, the center track is the Dallas Belt Line while the track to the right (the one we passed the tower on) is the connecting track to the T&P (MP).

Nice set of semaphores at the tower.

Tower 119 was placed in service in 1926 and closed in 1989.

 

Thanks to the Texas Railroad Towers Website -- txrrhistory.com/towers/index.htm for this info.

That is the go to site for Texas tower histories.
