Visit an Interlocking Tower
Joliet Area Historical Museum的点评
点评：Take the elevator or stairs up to track level on the Metra side of the station.
The museum has large, informative displays on the history of this important railroad location. Much of the focus is on this structure itself - a former interlocking tower.
Past the displays is an impressive wall of the electrical relays that would control the track switches and signals at this large, busy junction. It's neat that they left a big mass of (de-energized) electrical cables hanging down to show how complicated this evolving control site was. Go up the stairs (there's also an accessibility lift) to the upper floor of the tower, where the huge lever machine and track diagram is
You'll also want to gaze out the tower windows at the track "diamonds" where railroads cross each other. For train watching, there's an area just outside where you can see Amtrak, Metra, BNSF, and CN trains roll by.
Friendly and helpful docents will answer your questions.

翻译：乘坐电梯或楼梯前往车站Metra一侧的轨道层。
博物馆设有大型展览，内容丰富，展现了这座重要铁路枢纽的历史。展览的重点主要集中在这座曾经的联锁塔本身——一座曾经的联锁塔。
穿过展览，是一面令人印象深刻的墙，上面展示了控制这个大型繁忙枢纽的轨道开关和信号的继电器。他们巧妙地留下了一大堆（断电的）电缆，以展示这个控制站演变的复杂性。沿着楼梯（也有无障碍电梯）上到塔楼的上层，那里有巨大的杠杆机和轨道图。
您还想透过塔楼的窗户，欣赏铁路交叉处形成的“菱形”轨道。如果想观看火车，可以在塔楼外的一个区域看到美铁、Metra、BNSF和加拿大国家铁路的火车驶过。
友好而乐于助人的讲解员将解答您的疑问。
