Between Osborn and Van Loon, there should be directional intermediate signals near 173rd Street. It would be interesting to know if new signals are up in that area too.

Re: New Control Point CP Indy at MP B501.5
Thanks for the updates. I suspect that all signal work will have to be coordinated with IHB/CSX, so perhaps these dates are based on when IHB/CSX is ready. I am hoping that NS will get full data as part of PTC preparation, which would be very helpful for the inevitably conversion to satellite for IHB/CSX.
Re: New Control Point CP Indy at MP B501.5
Okay an update.
5/9
Retire the existing 5025 automatic in its entirety located at MP B 502.5

Re: New Control Point CP Indy at MP B501.5
Thanks - presumably the heads for the opposite direction are still turned.
Re: New Control Point CP Indy at MP B501.5
From the IHB DOB for the changes at Osborn. The crossover on NS is no longer shown, but the removal is not mentioned.
Re: New Control Point CP Indy at MP B501.5
75509210150202 is now online with 5 switches, so presumably this has to be Osborn.
Re: New Control Point CP Indy at MP B501.5
Ahah yes I see it.
Re: New Control Point CP Indy at MP B501.5
I am told this is Lake Division crews doing this work BTW.

There was a posting on the IHB group that there are no new CSX signals at State Line, so there might not be any impact on NS as far as ATCS goes (yet anyway).
Re: New Control Point CP Indy at MP B501.5
CSX State Line is pretty modern already. Since the machine installed replaced the tower in 2000. It has current spec signals on the CSX side and only needs the PTC add on. Changes are all NS side changes there.
Re: New Control Point CP Indy at MP B501.5
Thanks. IHB is working on track changes between Hohman and Gibson, so perhaps only NS to be done for now .
The original post showed Sunday 6/4, but 6/4 Is Monday. Which is it supposed to be?
