"Interesting mechanics"
"What a cool and interesting small museum dedicated to the "switches" used for rail lines. Think of an air traffic controller, but for trains. Well worth a stop, NOT handicap accessible, but the Bradford Railroad Museum down the street is! Stop in there to get a docent to open up the Tower to explore! Worth a stop! You'll need 30 min."
"Wonderful historic landmark. They have added many displays and interpretive information since I was last there."
"Nice historical building - part of the Bradford Ohio Railroad Museum, this tower has been completely restored & is well laid out on both floors, with history placards & photographs. Well worth the stop in this old R.R. town !!"
"The BF Tower has added permanent exhibits to detail the history of the tower. These Exhibits detail the impact the tower had on the RR and the city. The graphics and artifacts tell the story of the RR and those who worked on the RR. I highly recommend others to visit the Tower and the Museum."
