PRR West Slope Signals Replacement Under Way
I'm not really here to provide a play-by-play of the PRR Main Line re-signaling project being undertaken by NS, but after having stalled for a good number of months it rocketed ahead from CP-HUNT through CP-TUNNEL and CP-GRAY and all the way down the 3-track raceway to CP-ANTIS nailing such iconic photo locations as Tipton and Fostoria.
Because NS decided not to alter the previously re-signaled Altoona terminal area they were then able to proceed up the east slope to CP-MG a couple of weeks ago. I have heard that the plan is to get down to CP-SF by the end of May which would impact CP-AR/UN, CP-MO at Cresson and the famous signals at Lilly and Summerhill. I have a couple of pickups to do on the West Slope so hopefully I can get them before the last Sunday in May, as NS likes to do signal cut-overs on Sunday.
Today (5/19) UN/AR to MG being cutover 244 and 245 being cut down (Along with the G-head 246 on 1). They got TA's all the way to W/MO. The march continues. BTW do you know the locations of the SIP boxes west of Altoona? Some don't seem to correspond to former signal locations (Former cut sections?)
ReplyDeletedid you get to fostoria to get the cpls? i need to add one to my collection!
