Cy better go look at the signals on line today, he'll see that both aspects
are on the same signal pole, however, I'll give him credit for signals of
that era, they were on different poles. The S and N were used to
differentiate between the two signals that used a comman milepost location.
Today, the milepost on the numberplate is 1/10 different. For instance,
118.7 and 118.6. Sometimes the obvious is the answer. Remember, we're
railroaders, not rocket scientists. Ha Ha ----- Original Message -----
