Denny,

The diagram sheet provides dates of installation of 1899 and 1911 
and states that the plant was built by the Milwaukee. Further:

Installation: CB&Q 50%
CM&STP 50%

Maintenance: CB&Q 100%

Ownership: Same as maintenance

Operation: CB&Q 100%

Supplies: CB&Q 100%

Repairing: CB&Q 

It was my understanding that the "second" railroad to town paid all 
costs of construction, operation and maintenance of an interlocking 
plant but that the installation is actually owned and manned by the 
railroad it crosses. I defer to the railroad veterans' knowledge on 
this, however.

My source for the diagram sheet is a photo-reproduction of all 
Milwaukee interlocking installations from 1900 to 1931 originally 
offered in a ring binder--now on CD--by Dave Cramer. Check out his 
website at www.trainsite.8m.com.
