Photo of Tower A
Tower A

Tower A continues to stand guard adjacent to the bascule bridges over the Charles River, just north of North Station. The tower no longer serves any railroad purpose, and I believe the small elevated structure to the right of the tower controls the bridges. All signalling is done remotely.
