Here is what I initially thought was an old Railroad Tower, as seen on October 17, 2004. It's located just East of Wyoming Yard at Hall St.

And if you get at the right angle, you can see a mannequin "guard" in the tower.

This tower was a crossing guard tower that stood downtown at the Bridge St? crossing, IIRC.

This tower is at the Columbian Logistics Network Building in GR. It was the tower that guarded GR union station. When the Station closed it was given to Columbian, back when they were located next to the station. When Columbian Moved to Hall st, right on the north end of wyoming yard, they brought it with them. It now stands next to their front gate.
