Tower Model Board

 

FN Tower in Trenton is the crossing of the former Michigan Central (now NS northbound main), the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern (now NS southbound main), the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton, and the Detroit and Toledo Shore Line.  The track plan design is unique, with the DT&I and the D&TSL crossing in the center of the NS tracks.  This is one of only a couple of interlocking towers that continues to exist in Michigan.    This photograph was taken by Charlie Whipp on February 27, 1989.  The photos below were taken in 1994 by Charlie as well.
