One of the first posts in this blog featured the former CSX / B&O HANCOCK tower located in Hancock, WV. I had taken a large number of interior photos shortly before it was closed and demolished in 2007, but the writeup first appeared on a web forum that did not accept embedded images. Therefore I re-wrote the piece to use links instead of images and that's what was posted here.
Well I have some good news in that I went back through and restored the photos in addition to a few other small edits. For anyone who might not have ever seen the page on HANCOCK or those who saw it in its mostly text form I invite you all to take a second look.

This blog seeks to preserve through photo documentation the great diversity and technical ingenuity of 20th century signaling and interlocking hardware and technology. Related topics cover interlocking towers and railroad communications infrastructure.
Note, due to a web hosting failure some of the photos and links may be unavailable.
