HOOSIER VALLEY RAILROAD MUSEUM

One of the last working interlocking towers in the Chicagoland area was decommissioned in the late part of 2007. Grasselli Tower is located in East Chicago, Indiana and once controlled the interlocking for the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern (EJ&E), the Indiana Harbor Belt (IHB), and the B&O Chicago Terminal (B&OCT). One of the "lesser known" towers, it was long overshadowed by its bigger sister a mile north - Calumet Tower (which at this writing is still operational)... This is the view of Grasselli Tower back in 1983. Grasselli has served the Indiana Harbor Belt for nearly a century... The Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum has successfully saved Grasselli Tower in East Chicago, Indiana and is now working on refurbishing the old railroad tower.
