Looks exactly like (and marked like) the WSOR power switch that was recently installed in Madison, WI.

It is a radio remote controlled switch.

Yup, it's the same style as is installed on the Iowa Interstate at the east Yocum switch. At one point I'd figured out who made the thing, but I can't think of it right now.

What is the traffic on this line like nowadays? Visited some relatives here many many years ago for a day or two and vaguely remember MOP FA's (I think) or something like that in the pre-jenks blue scheme.
