[CBQ] Re: Drawbridge, Burlington, Iowa

[Walter Ohrnell <wohrnell@sbcglobal.net>]

The Burlington operator controlled the derails from the CTC machine in their 
office on the second floor of the depot. They also controlled the locks which 
when unlocked, raised the end of the rails on the swing span enough to clear 
the main line rails. In later years this feature was removed.
