USA / Illinois / Chicago / Chicago, Illinois
 railway, interlocking

This tower was the Pennsylvania Railroad's gateway into Chicago Union Terminal and now marks the beginning of Amtrak's territory in Chicago.

21ST ST tower was manned until 2005 when control was passed to the new centralized facility in the Union Station office complex. In 2006 the tower was inexplicably demolished.
