There’s not that much information available on the old tower. I have been in touch with the local interest organization that features an impressive array of information about the region, but so far they haven’t been able to dig up any hard facts about the tower. I have, however, come across some old images on the Internet and here’s one of them:
This picture was taken when the train tracks were still intact (not sure if they were still in operation at the time when the pic was taken though), but they have since been removed.
When time permits, my plan is to ask around the neighborhood to find out as much as I can about the tower, the train and it’s meaning to the region; and why it was decided to abolish it. Sure will be interesting!
