posted two images with the comment: "Interesting stuff I stumbled across about the two former control towers at
CNW's Erie St. yard, Division St. and Carpenter St. As of March 1959 Carpenter disappeared from the CNW track chart but Division St. was still there. Anyone have a photo of either tower? Here is what I have: two pages from an article appearing in Signal Engineer Journal June 1911 and the CNW Harvard track chart showing Division St. Tower."

Here are photos of the towers from a GRS publication, which I am unable to locate at the moment. Note that Carpenter St Tower was actually located on Sangamon St, but there already was a Sangamon St Tower which controlled the entrance to the Chicago St Engine Terminal and Erie St Yard. |

More on CNW Division St. and Carpenter St. towers from Signal Engineering publication showing plans. Still haven't found any photos of them yet but the search goes on.
