Roanoke Signals

Jim,

Many, many years ago (the teens or 20's), the street that crosses over the 
railroad between the passenger station and the Tower was named Randolph St. 
That street is now Williamson Rd.  Many old names still persist to this day 
on the railroad.

In a posting several months ago, I was told by several listers that the 
interlocking tower just east of Roanoke station (now Link Museum), sitting 
almost directly under the US 221 highway bridge, was called "Randolph 
Street" tower.  Am curious why this is the case, when Randolph St. does not 
appear to be nearby on the map.
