From here to the West End of Bureau was double track current of traffic,except RI installed reverse Cab signaling on the South/Eastward track. The South track had been re-tied and was in pretty good shape. This allowed Westbounds (mainly No. 57) to run at track speed with train order authority. zr190 |
