FAIR Tower         
Built in the late 1920's, FAIR Tower was named after the nearby state fairgrounds. It is constructed of poured concrete and wood and is covered with elaborate features. FAIR contained a 75 lever US&S model 14 electro-pneumatic machine with 60 active levers that controlled a full mainline crossover. The tower was closed in 1996, but still serves as an Amtrak MoW base.
