A Large Signal Tower

There is now on the way from the fac
tory of the National Switch and Signal
company the largest interlocking tower
ever manufactured for point west of the
Mississippi river. 1t requires six cars to
hold the material. This signal tower is
consigned to the Southern Pac fic company
which point the Monrovia and Pasadena
branches connect with the main line and
the double track system between that
point and Los Angeles commences. As
soon as the tower is erected all switches
connected with the operation of trains
passing through this point will be thrown
from the tower, and an accident like that
which occurred Monday will be impossible,
as no train can possibly get signal that
the switch is right for them until the
switch has been thrown.
