At first glance, I had no idea what this structure was. My friend Tracy told me it is a switch tower, used to manually control the switches that caused trains to change tracks. Switches are now electric, so perhaps the most remarkable thing is that this little tower was left standing.
My BlueberryStyle 16mm small iris eyes arrived for Alto, my SWITCH Doha on a Mirodoll 66cm (NS-C) body.
IAIS 505 and 712 are switching out CBBI-08 at Newton IA. They will take a few hours to get the work done and will depart Newton for South Amana with a 10000 foot train.
Another view of the #3 switch (to the right) into the Joseph Behr scrap yard off of the CN Freeport Subdivision. Notice the two yellow color guard rails bracketing the frog. These help to ensure that the wheels crossing the frog don't stray from their intended route. The small sign says "CN ENDS". In the background is the East Rockford control point / interlocking (CN M.P. 85.6W and IR M.P. 22.5) which is the location of the remote switch to the Illinois Railway lead. The IR can be seen coming in from the left. This is how the IR accesses the CN to switch Behr as well as the CN West Yard and the DM&E / IR yard which are just across the Rock River. This is also how the CP accesses the northbound ICE line at West Rockford. The CN curves to the right and passes under the dark structure visible just to the right of the signal heads. That is the historic Seminary Street timber stringer vehicle bridge built in 1901 and rehabilitated in 2008.
I lubed the switch with Krytox and the gold spring with Victorinox oil. To cap it off, I’m adding a clear switch top from Abo Studio.

A box full of switches labeled with numbers, I'm not sure what they were for because the label had been taken off but the cable had been disconnected.
