Midlothian, Texas · Ellis County
Overview
Dating from the 2010s, this tower in Midlothian, TX is registered as ASR 612089 and reaches 117 m (383 ft) above ground.
Compared with other tower registrations in Texas, it is 47.3% taller than the median of 79 m.
The registrant is Union Pacific Railroad Company. Railroads maintain their own radio networks along their rights of way, and register the supporting structures in their own name.
Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 117 m has a theoretical sightline of 45 km (27.7 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
Its nearest neighbour is a lattice tower 1.6 km (1.0 mi) to the NE, standing 37 m tall.
Built roughly 14 years ago, it is one of 23 registered structures serving the Midlothian area.

About this record
A freestanding tower whose specific construction is not further specified in the registration.
Details on this page come from the FCC's public ASR file. The register records the physical structure and its owner; it does not list the antennas mounted on it or the networks they serve.
"Owner" is the entity that registered the structure, usually a tower company such as American Tower or Crown Castle. It does not indicate which carriers operate equipment on the structure.
