Amtrak and Grand Trunk at Detroit's Beaubien St Tower in 1994

Tip jar: ko-fi.com/railroadmediaarchive
Includes some interior shots of the operator's desk and Armstrong interlocking machine. The operator not being seen was probably on purpose. Beubien St closed in the late 1990s and was an MC/NYC/PC/CR staffed tower.

Outstanding! Thanks for posting.

Shock and Awe! These points scenes were included in Clear Block Productions Grand Trunk into the 90's Volume 3, and honestly for a long time I wondered how someone could be close enough to watch the points change on what looks to be a siding/secondary track. The operator was just showing you the points moving?
This is great footage, I love seeing the change of this area over the years compared to other photos. I hate that they cut out the footage of the tower overview.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I cut out the redundant bit using RUclips's internal video editor.

@@RailroadMediaArchive It looked like something missed. No problem. Keep the great videos coming! Thank you.
