My question about Chilhowie  - was it a CTC controlled siding?

There were sidings at Wurno (between Wysor and Pulaski) and McMullin 
(between Marion and Seven-Mile Ford) that were removed in the '50's and some 
others removed before that, at least as controlled sidings.  (The local 
freights,71 and72, had a scheduled meet at McMullin for years.)

Some of these sidings were extended when others were removed.

Is (are) there a photo (or photos) of the Bristol Line CTC machine in 
existence?
