Stockton Tower was one of the last remaining towers in California. Built in 1943 this interlocking tower guided trains through the busy Stockton area for five decades.
In late 1998 and early 1999 'Machines of Iron' visited to witness the deactivation of BNSF's Stockton Tower.
The tower controlled the two BNSF mainline tracks, plus the two UP/SP tracks and former WP track that crossed BNSF, together with the connections between the two railroads.
Besides plenty of train action, we go inside the tower to see operations explained by an operator and the new automatic 'box-of-tricks' that replaces it. Witness the actual change over and the final sad sight of the demolishing of the tower.
