    I need to know what Frisco signal indication would be seen at the immediate signal if a train was to take a diverging route at the next signal after the current.

    Would it be yellow over yellow, flashing yellow over yellow, or yellow over lunar?

    Thanks for your response, Karl. It was very helpful.

    We have a local Katy modeler that models the Katy between KC and Parsons. Of course he has a part of the Frisco on his railroad, so he had Mike Burgett of www.ctcparts.com put together a CTC panel and connect signals to the line between KC and Paola Kansas.

    The attached photo is of the machine that Mike assembled based on the information that was provided. In the photos, the machine is indicating occupancy of the Cooper's Lead at KY Jct from Katy's Glen Park Yard out of Rosedale and onto the condensed Frisco main to Paola and the train approaching Paola.

    At the throttle of Katy 212 on train number 105 is our own Mark Davidson (mark). This was the first southbound on the railroad since the newly installed CTC machine.
