on Easter in 1958 was the ‘straw that broke the camel’s back’
regarding the change to color position lights. Over a period of time some
questions had been raised by others and the railroad as to the safety of the PL’s,
PL’s being subject to potential misinterpretation in difficult visibility.
So shortly after the finalization of the report on this accident, the N&W
started to convert the PL’s to CPL’s. <st1:place w:st="on">Lot</st1:place>
of signals to change over- took about one year. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

modeling the N&W circa 1968 and NS circa 2000 (not both at the same time!)
and for as long as I have been chasing the N&W, since about 1985, I note
that the amber lights had been replaced with red, green and amber in the
position light signals. Does anyone know what time frame that change was made
in? I do know that the Pennsy used all amber in electrified territory and red,
green and amber in diesel territory; but again, not sure when the change was
made. Thanks. Dan Mulhearn<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
