WB in Brunswick is still active, with a new paint job and some recent restoration. Authough not accessable very close, it is DIRECTLY across the tracks from a public park. (See mu park site image page, it has a few shots of it: http://trainheartedguy.tripod.com/park.htm)

The only active tower left in Maryland is WB tower in Brunswick.

Others, such as Miller tower in Cherry Run WV, were closed as CSX modernized its signal system.

[:)]Trains issue Apr. '95 "Tower tribute" by Brian Pulus, showed open towers in northern W.V. & Maryland and Southern Penn. I need an update on the towers in that area that are still open for a trip I'm planning. Any help welcome. Thank yor, rrbobby.
