| 説明 | New York Central Railroad, Switch TowerPorter, IndianaDate: October 13, 1975Source Type: PhotographPublisher, Printer, Photographer: Jeff StrombeckPostmark: Not ApplicableCollection: Steven R. ShookRemark The following news item concerning the switch tower seen in this postcard was published in The Tribune, on March 9, 1894:The new interlocking switch at Porter is now in operation. It is a beauty. Forty levers handle the forty tracks and switches in the yards of the Lake Shore and the Central roads, and all switching must now be done from the tower. The day for making flying switches in the yards at Porter is now gone. The guards against accident are so numerous and so perfect that it seems impossible that one can now happen. The tower is large and well arranged, and a wonderful improvement over the old one and its system.Source:The Tribune, Chesterton, Porter County, Indiana; March 9, 1894; Volume 10, Number 48, Page 1, Column 5.
