Remarks & Notes 
The Human Factor: Although it was sad to see the tower go, what I really miss are the people that brought the place to life. Here I&M foreman Jim Bottoms and UP operator Bob Phillips pose for the camera knowing that the clock was already ticking towards Ridgely's eventual demise.

Oh the stories these special buildings could tell. Originally the brains of the rails they monitored, working to insure effecient rail service for our nation! A tribute!

Pictures of things often unseen in the world of railroading. Interesting equipment, operations, and people that help the railroad go around.
