Russ,"the handthrows" is how the switches from the Aurora lead to the track 
behind the W Eola tower and then from that trk to the West yd were referred 
to during the time I worked and from my earliest memory.These were MANUAL 
switches as far back as I can remember. Are you saying that when the tower 
was operational there were "power" switches controlled by the operator 
w/signals? If so that would sure explain why almost everything during that 
time used the trk behind the tower and when I worked nothing did as who 
wanted to throw those switches if the Ds would let the CTC machine do it. Leo
