| MILLHAM Tower was built in 1940, but unlike other interlocking towers of the period, was constructed of a beige colored brick, rather than the traditional red. Like other towers, MILLHAM has an internal staircase, no bay window, but did not have a peaked slate roof. Intead, the tower was constructed with a completely flat, concrete slabbed roof which at some point in time was replaced with the current roof seen on the tower. A five track crossover was once controlled by the tower's 23 lever US&S Model 14 electro-pneumatic machine with 21 active levers. Despite be located near the Millham Branch, a small industrial spur, the branch was not part of the interlocking and therefore not controlled by the tower bearing the same name. Amtrak removed the tower from active service in the 80s, however MILLHAM still serves as a MoW base and a radio repeater for train dispatch. |
