between your 'bookend' years of 1917 & 1925. Each yr there is
mention of some trackage being given ABS, sometimes by Division,
sometimes by location (Mendota to Galesburg) It would appear the C&I
portions were "18-21. However the A.R.'s are sometimes optimistic.
One yr it states 70 some miles of a planned 300 miles was done with
the rest to be done next spring yet the yr after indicates only 66
miles were completed instead of the 200+. In any case, ABS work was
part of ea A.R.'s listed "Improvements" thru & after WWI. When I get
a chance I'll check Overton's "Burlington Route". Gerald

show block signals, and a 1925 employee timetable, which states that
automatic block signalling was in effect from Aurora tower to
Savanna. Thanks for your help.Bob Herrick
