PTC

Unread post by GTW »

At" Penn" on the South Bend Sub. where it goes single track to Schoolcraft I noticed a new PTC tower at that location. Does anyone know how far apart these towers will be located.

Thanks

Thanks for the information on the PTC towers. It looks like no ones in a hurry here to do anything right now.

So they're starting at one end of the line and working their way to the other end? Seems like they've been working west of the yard here for months now...

Based on this signal installation, it looks like every signal location will have a PTC tower. If I recall correctly, this is the approach signal for the east end of the siding at Emmett. Photo taken back in August.
