Junctions, also called interlockings, are key components of the rail system. Tower operators determine which trains go on which tracks and when.
The operators in Tower 18 control the complex flow of trains through Chicago's Loop. The dedication of tower operators combined with electronic and infrastructure upgrades at critical junctions ensures safe and reliable travel along the CTA rail system.... a system that delivers more than 200-million rides a year.
