I went with Mitch Goldman.  It's a surprisingly new tower and the action inside a tower that controls a suburban terminal has to be incredible during rush hours.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

Like Mookie, I voted for the one I liked best but it had an added hook for me since my wife grew up in Quincy Ohio, and after meeting her in Cincinnati, I then visited her in Quincy. Finding the tower and then meeting its operator, I spent a number of hours there on multiple occasions and watched the DT&I and NYC trains. Future wife tolerated my hobby and we've now been married for almost 57 years. Have not seen any other of the candidates

I think it would be interesting to know the total number of votes cast. Would this be the same as the number of "Views" which is already shown?
