Cool. What were the megaphones used for?

The big ones I’m not sure. There were a series of smaller ones around with push buttons that went back to the pre-radio days so you could call directly to the switch tenders in the various cabins around TUS,

I’m guessing they were used by the Tower Operators at John Street to alert MofW and S&C staff working in the interlocking. Sometimes towers would just simply sound a siren to alert works of impending train traffic, pre-radio of course!
