Well, it got lined into the other guy but how did the system even let that happen? Should be a fascinating investigation, to say the least.

Actually WEST of ST. Joe last time I worked the jobs down there...but close enough for railroad work.

Over tonnage. Leave cars behind. No run train sunday. Fascinating. Gee, would not someone (yardmaster might come to mind) realize this before banging train together? I KNOW!!! Run and extra...bwahahahaha.

Expect the signals to be typically located at easy to reach locations like at grade crossings. Ain’t nobody got time to hyrail or walk to this stuff!

Sometimes railroad logic actually makes some sense.

Just south of 76th was the Block Limit Station called KARL. (For Carlisle). They had signage and a phone box there.

SMH. Although the indication is possible on all CSX lines it is not on the signal system east of GRR. Never seen it. Show me a picture of it at that location. Until then, nope. Just because it's possible in lower Ohio on a new system setup, doesn't mean it is on our OLD setup. They would have to cha...

The square signals denote SEABOARD signals.

YOU WIN GRHC! I remember seeing FGEX insulated boxes down there in the 60's and 70's. The track was OOS when I started in 78.

Tell me what the M&J lead name is for and what was the customer and what did they produce? For 100 points....

BnOEngr..I'll stand with you on this one. No such Chessie/C&O signal indication Red Red Yellow exists up here on Michigan C&O Division trackage east of Lansing. All old searchlite system signals and I ran over there for YEARS. Pulling out various C&O, Chessie and CSX rulebooks says the same. Again, ...

Along the old NYC right of way in Byron Center? Support for a phone box or support from something to do with rr highway crossing apparatus.

Why, the Christmas grinch seems to have disappeared! I must assume the new CEO had something to do with this. Well done!

One question, new CSX or old Chessie signals? C&O/Chessie, per the rule book doesn't show a RRA signal indication. Not saying it doesn't exist. Red yellow red is slow approach.

Same with the dwarf on the GRE interchange up at Fuller. When I first started going up there in 1999ish, we called Tammy the Dispatcher one fine afternoon. She had no knowledge of that signal, wasn't on her board. From then on...fagetaboud it. We had permission to leave the switch open, do our work,...

New Verizon dish near EE South Lyon.

That's so you can dial into Spectrum and watch TV while sitting waiting for a meet. Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!?

http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPi ... id=3081914 Sure looked like a 90 footer in the pic. Must be the skewed perspective of the photo.

Having a unloading track like this one is WRONG. Look at all the cars that are placarded Unload This Side Only....the customer tends to get up set when you place them anyway...so you have to turn them. Easy enough if you have a wye track handy but not if you don't. We used to turn cars in New Buffal...

I see some of you are an exception to my statement but others still fit it. So be it. Other than BEING THERE for 35 years and attending union meetings on occasion and conversing with people STILL IN the trenches, I stand by my assessment. Many of you are whistling in the dark or succumb to sand hous...
