Illinois Central Randolph Street "Tower"

(Satellite)

Metra

The tower is located "Track level at Millennium (Randolph Street) Station. Far south end of Track One." [David Daruszka comment]

The station is not a building, it is more like a hole in the sidewalk. Property values are too valuable here to waste street level property on commuters.

William Shapotkin posted three photos with the comment:

Before conversion to Dispatcher control, IC (later Metra) Randolph St Station and its approaches were controlled by Randolph Tower. Here are several pix, taken by long-time friend (and co-worker) William McKenzie of old and new Randolph Tower.

The final iteration, two monitors and a squawk box.

This blog had been an interesting learning experience. But it is becoming more and more of a burden:

Sorry, the page you were looking for in this blog does not exist.

I have no idea how that posting got deleted. If I determine that a posting is bad, I stub it by deleting the contents and adding a link to a better alternative. I deliberately delete the contents instead of the posting to avoid broken links like the above. Since blogspot adds the year and month to the link, I can't fix the 2017/06 link. I have to recreate the posting with a new link.
