At 253 feet in height, this tower beside the Grand Trunk Railroad is by far the tallest thing in Ainsworth. I don't know what kind of signal it transmits — radio? cell phone? railroad communications?
It was built in 1974.
In trying to find out what kind of tower this is, I came across Tracks and Towers, an interesting series of photographs of ... well, I'll let you guess.

Definitely not cell phones by the look of it.
And I guess there wouldn't have been any cell phones to build it for in 1974. :)
Well, sure, not in 1974 but something modern could be added to an existing tower at any time. There's old factory smokestacks near where I live that now sport cell antennas.
Maybe one of these times when the guys come to work on the tower, I'll go over there and ask them what it's for. They'll probably think I'm a nut. :D
Maybe one of them will ask you to lunch ;-)
