Is BO Tower in Kalamazoo Michingan still active? The last I coudl find in searching was that it could be remotely controlled my the dispatcher. Also while thinking about the Amtrak line is the tower in Michigan City at the drawbridge still active?

Michigan City Drawbridge has been closed since roughly 2005. Now operated out of the Joseph Szabo Control Center at Chicago Union Station.

And former UTU legislative rep for Illinois. Yep, one and the same. Big Amtrak booster, which no doubt played into the naming.
