Significance: Although the Shell Interlocking Tower no longer contains its original interlocking equipment, it is architecturally significant as representative of the type of structure built by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad during the first decade of the twentieth century. The tower is significant for its association with an important period in the development of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, and for its original embodiment of state of the art architectural design and electrical engineering technology.
