[CBQ] Re: Signals on the Q - West End Burlington Yard CTC

["qmp211" <milepost206@mchsi.com>]

Dave,

I remember the END CTC sign was for eastbound yard traffic off the westbound 
main and the Rock Island transfer track. It did not affect normal mainline 
moves at Main St. And as far back as the time of the overhead signal bridge at 
Main St, there was a BEGIN CTC posted on the signal bridge for westbound moves 
out of the yard. I sat many nights waiting for signals on the West End switch 
engine to go to "soap" and "C&E" in between trains or to take loads from Case 
up to 6th St to get back into west end of the yard.

Lenny, dust off the keyboard. What was the slang name for the RI transfer track 
at Main Street next to the barber shop? I remember we came "out of the hole at 
Main St to go to 6th Street" which by the way is Mile Post 206 under 6th Street 
Bridge.
