JB Date: 11/15/20 21:20 Re: SP Signal Sunday: Syskiyou Semaphores Author: ExSPCondr The Siskiyou was ABS and Train Orders, so they needed somebody on the rear to line back.

They did go caboose-less in the early 90's but I cannot remember the exact year. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 11/15/20 21:39 by Railbaron. Date: 11/15/20 22:10 Re: SP Signal Sunday: Siskiyou Semaphores Author: wp1801 Good memories! Thanks.

I ended up with the Wolf Creek block sign. Wag Yes, the Siskiyou was under DTC authority.
