Subject: [CBQ] Turnout Fouling Point Clearance Markers
> Greetings,
>
> The above subject came up on another list which made me wonder if the CB&Q
used any method as to indicating where a car could be left on a spur without
it fouling the main track.
>
> For example, a couple responses on the other list indicated certain
railroads colored an end of a tie at the appropriate point, while one line
erected "Fouling Point" or simply "FP" labeled signs.
>
> How did the 'Q' indicate fouling point location, or did they?
>
> Thanks...
