Como Avenue was a brick-built, power-operated tower on the Great Northern railroad's main line between St Paul and Minneapolis. It controlled the freight yard on the left of this view, which was taken looking towards St Paul.

Not only does the tower have a nameboard proclaiming its title, but it also carried the crest of the Great Northern Railway. Notice the use of the word railway in preference to the more common term (in the US) of railroad.
