I best as I can determine, the Birmingham Terminal Company owned the Birmingham Terminal Station and only the trackage, which served the station. The Frisco, one of six railroads, owned a piece the BTC. A random check of several 1940’s annual reports listed the value of the Frisco’s shares at $25,000. A recent acquisition, this map show the extent of the Terminal’s trackage. As built, the trackage was governed by two manual interlocking towers, one located at each end of the station. During 1945, the Terminal Company replaced the manual system with an all-relay GRS plant which was operated from a panel in the operator’s office of the station. The Frisco and the IC utilized the south-end coach yard, and Frisco diesel passenger power laid-over on the Ramsey track, which is shown just above the north arrow 1945 Track Arrangement Birmingham Terminal Station Only five signal aspects were used to allow trains to enter/leave the station. Frisco trains entered/left from the north.
