The Stockton Tower was one of the last remaining towers in California. Built in 1943 this interlocking tower guided trains through the busy Stockton area for over five decades. The tower operator provides a guided tour of how the interlocking functioned. A BNSF engineer working on the changeover takes us on a tour of the “tin house” that replaced the tower. On May 27, 1999, the 56 year old tower was demolished thus ending an era. Our photographers were there for several weeks to watch all the action for the changeover.

Curtis Watson –
I’m not sure how to quantify what I was expecting, but this video seemed to drag on and there wasn’t an extreme amount of railroad “action.” Basically, the first twenty and last five minutes were the best for me. But don’t think it isn’t a good program just from what I said. It does capture the last few days of what was an important and interesting piece of railroad infrastructure, and I’m immensely glad it was saved on film.
