In Roanoke, they are located on the Forwarding Yard ladder & its 
derails, the Park Street ladder, the east end of the Empty Side ladder. 
These are controlled by the Roanoke dispatcher. The Hump Tower controls 
power switches for the Hump Yard and Rt.66 (going from the Receiving 
Yard (Big Hopper Yard tracks 1 - 10) east to the Old Eastbound Main Line 
just east of the hump on the south side. No big deal guys. Just like 
putting remote power switches on your model railroad.
