A railroad switch tower, also known as a signal tower or interlocking tower, is a structure typically found near a railway junction or a complex network of railroad tracks. Its purpose is to control the switches and signals that determine the movement of trains through the junction or the switching yard.
The switch tower is usually positioned at a location that provides a good vantage point for the operator to oversee the tracks and make decisions regarding train routing and switch alignments. Historically, switch towers were manned by operators who manually operated the switches and signals using levers and other mechanical controls. However, with advancements in technology, many switch towers today are remotely operated or automated.
