The interlocking mechanism at Des Plaines, Illinois.

This is a fascinating image of a part of railroading that not many people get to see. It's the mechanical interlocking within an interlocking tower. Good color and contrast, and the lines are not distorted. Slambo (Speak) 16:58, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

weak oppose, it is interesting when you know what it is, but my first impression on seeing the photos is "WTF is it?". A photo showing the surrounds would be better - this image would work best as part of a series with the first one estbalishing context and this showing detail. Also, the image description could use links to explain the terminology. Thryduulf 12:47, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
