Re: NS Kankakee work

I am going to need to catch the local. I forget the symbol... But I -think- he comes down out of Chicago, but even if it comes from the west. They use the wye to turn the train.

Re: NS Kankakee work

There should be three separate individual signal/stop pairs based on the drawing - 4, 6, and 8. One would think that 2E and 2N would each have their own Clear bit with a shared Stop bit. I suppose that one could program the 6 signals to both show Clear from a single bit if the routes didn't conflic...

Re: NS Kankakee work

Did you see any data or only a baseline message? I see it in my database, but without data. No data yet, but probably only because its out of the range of receivers. Ohh wait. I got two control hits on it. http://inrd.gotdns.com/temp/Sch.jpg Now using the old CR diagram.. we can fairly match the ma...

Re: IHB Changes At Gibson

NS adapter looks like the IHB bits are changed a bit.

I think the first switch bit may be K48 and K47. Not sure yet. They look like they are still working on it.

Looks like the usual IHB tactic of just "Just talk them by the red" while you change things is in force.

tttodisp wrote:Finally. So far, the NS view of Hohman has not changed as far as NS bits go, but lots of new bits from IHB changes. I am expecting the usual 4-5 days to complete the cutover.
From what I see, they look like they are working on the NS one now.

Re: Saw this today in Chesterton Indiana

Once in a while, someone at the UP power desk makes an effort to put them back together.

They eventually get broken up and the process repeats.

Re: New Control Point CP Indy at MP B501.5

Burnham is waiting on the NICTD.

Should get a South Shore view out of it, and with their Gauntlet tracks, that should be Hilarious to try and get ATCS to deal with.

Re: New Control Point CP Indy at MP B501.5

And yet another drawbridge that acts in a different way.

Bridges are so much fun in ATCS. Not a one acts the same way depending on what railroad set them up.

Re: New Control Point CP Indy at MP B501.5

I am watching it now.

Judging from the way the controls are. 6 switches. One signal pair, 4 OOS bits. It is Cummings Drawbridge.

Re: New Control Point CP Indy at MP B501.5

Six would be right for the drawbridge.

Four derails and two switches.

My money is on Cummings Drawbridge.
