Just posted on a Facebook group within the past hour, is a picture of a CTC interlocking machine for Southeastern Junction in St Louis. The young man states that his aunt shipped it to him in a box of railroad stuff. I have reached out to him to try to convince him to donate it to the Frisco Museum at Grant Beach Park in Springfield.
What about the location of th Lindenwold tower on the diagram plate? It was on the north side of the tracks, not the south. I'm assuming that is not the Lindenwood depot, which was indeed on the south side, but was removed long ago when commuter traffic stopped. K
It is backward if it was in the SE Jct tower, but it is in the yard office which is on the east side of the main tracks. I realized that after my coffee.
It’s the westbound mainline and it’s governed by ABS rules. http://www.frisco.org/shipit/index.php?attachments/stlouis_yds_and_connections_1957-jpg.3626/
Me too. The roof on the diagram made me think it is a tower. That must have ben an earlier office, not the brick one that was there all the times I visited Lindenwood. Is it still there? K
Question: From where is the control point for SE Junction located now? Is it in the existing yard office?
It's operated by the BNSF dispatcher in Ft. Worth...BTW they just put in CTC from SE Jct. to Valley Park...
