There was a signal tower on the Milwaukee Road along the Mississippi between Lacrosse, Wisconsin and Winona, Minnesota (maybe even more than one), perhaps at Dakota, but I’m not sure. Does anyone know where it was? Is it still there?
The last tower was Tower CK. This tower controlled the crossing of the C&NW ‘Black Hills’ line(former Winona & St Peter). This tower was on the north side of Winona. It was removed in the 80’s or 90’s.
There used to be a tower on the south side of Winona that controlled the CGW/Milw crossing. It was gone in the 30’s as the CGW started using C&NW trackage rights to access Winona.
There was a tower at River Junction(just north of La Crescent) that controlled the junction of the line to La Crosse and the line to Marquette. This was replaced by CTC in the 60’s, IIRC.
All of these towers are long gone…

River Junction had to be it. Thanks.
