Emporia: Merrick Tower


Merrick Tower and the west end of Emporia Yard, from Wheat Lines and Super Fleets by Joe McMillan.

Eastbound trains enter the west side of Emporia Yard at Merrick tower. When the original east yard was removed, the line which curved away from the main was also removed. The tower once controlled that end of the yard. Today it contains CTC signal equipment for the BNSF.
