To protect the plant at Harlem Ave.  After that was gone
To enable you to go to track speed and protect the electric unlock at the east 
end of Congress Park Yard.
In most cases the tracks and signals have changed over the years.
There use to be a hand throw crossover at Maple Ave so you could set out off 
main 2 eastbound onto the wye at Congress Park.  You could bring a dinky up on 
main 3 into the station at Congress Park with the lunar and when the crossover 
move was complete the cab signals would give him a clear and away he would go 
with the freight back together and on the move into the yard right behind him.
5 Years as East End Dispatcher before they messed it all up
All I have to worry about now is getting my tater in.
Keep those Railroad Retirement checks coming

Just curious, what was the purpose of the west bound intermediate(?) signal on 
main 1 at mp 9.57?
