Seven to Save 2024 Listee: Concord Railroad Signal Tower

Because physical examples of railroad history and the intricacies of railroad operations are becoming increasingly rare, this tower’s pending demolition prompted a stronger grassroots opposition than would be expected for such a small building. Advocates are hoping its small size makes the rescue and reuse a manageable and doable project for dedicated partners working with its owner CSX Transportation. Possibilities for its reuse include office, exhibit and meeting space that will complement redevelopment underway in Concord’s south end, including the anticipated investment in the nearby historic Gasholder.

I really hope it is saved.. I've shown it to my boys and told them it's a huge part of our state...

I''m praying that you succeed in saving this wonderful, little piece of railroading. We lost do many battles to save stations, which were eventually lost. 6 in Midland City, Ohio, an arsonist destroyed their quaint, wooden station in the early hours of New Years Day, 2024.
