Signal Charts

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

My signal charts were put together by me.  I could find no official source of signal references except for track charts.  So I wrote it all up in an easy reference page.  
 
The 1947 information comes strait off the CTC machine builders photograph.  All the signal information was on that machine.  Now, I have the beginning of the position light system and the end of it charted out.  The in between signal updates and removals were done in several stages, as the N&W removed sidings.  Some signal installations were realigned and some weren't.
 
The 1996 information came off a track chart and by my personal scouting and searching.

Subject: Bristol Line Signal Charts 


For anyone who is interested, here is a list of the
Position Light Block Signals that were in place on the
Bristol Line in 1947. 

I also have included the list as they stood in 1996
before they were retired. I think the legends are
self explanitory, but if anyone has any questions,
then by all means, fire away.

In comparison of the two documents side by side, you
can see just how many modifications were made to the
signal system through the years, and how many sidings
were lost.

Hello, Ben:

These are helpful references. By any chance, has
anyone seen similar lists for the Shenandoah Division?
