COUNTY Tower         
Named after the fact that New Brunswick is the "county seat" of Middlesex County, COUNTY Tower is not a typical interlocking tower, like others found along the Northeast Corridor. Only one story in height and constructed of concrete blocks, COUNTY contains a small US&S Model "C" Interlocking Machine. The 30 lever machine had 15 working levers, and 15 spare. COUNTY controlled access to the former Millstone Branch, as well as a small yard built in the vicinity of the tower. Today, NJ Transit operates a small maintenance of way yard at COUNTY.
