Stock Photo Description: A modern train entering the station at the South Norwalk (SoNo) Switch Tower Museum, located in the historic Washington Street district of this seaport Connecticut town, tells the great history of the railroad switch tower. Towers were used by railroads to control areas of track, preventing trains from crashing. They also housed the mechanism for changing trains from one track to another. A tower operator would operate this mechanism by throwing levers that were connected to the tracks, thus changing the direction of the track.
