RAILROAD SIGNALS of the U.S.

HALEY TOWER
Terre Haute IN

Haley Tower was one of the last operating towers in Indiana.  Operating towers are becoming fewer and fewer, so it is a good thing this one was saved.  Because of my business travelling, I had a chance to stray away from Indianapolis and head over to Terre Haute, and got these pictures.  These pictures are scans of prints I took in July 1999.

The tower was acquired from CSX by the Haley Tower Historical and Technical Society, which is associated with the Wabash Valley Railroaders Museum where the towers now reside.

The tower was moved about 50 feet to it's present location on Friday, January 14th, 2000.  On Saturday, August 26th, they had a grand opening celebration.  

The society also managed to save Spring Hill Tower, which was purchased in 2000 and moved to the site in 2001.  In 2003, the society also saved the ex Pennsy depot in Turner IN, and moved it to this site.

The museum is open on Saturdays and Sundays, May thru October.  The hours are 11am to 4pm.  The address1316 Plum St, Terre Haute IN, 47804.  The phone number at the museum is 812-238-9958.
