1946 is the date of the construction of MT2 as far as I know.
(yes this section of track is literally outside my bedroom windows)

Subject: [CBQ] Dates for 2nd Track Construction and CTC Herrington to Graf
I'm confused about some dates for the 2nd track from Herrington to
Graf. The alignment chart suggests 1946 for construction (rail is
1946) and also 1946 for CTC.
Regarding construction, 1946 may be the right date, but the latest
timetable I have (#53, 02/47) makes no mention of Graf. The
footnotes for Savanna Tower to N. LaCrosse subdivision indicate
Herrington to Grand Crossing is CTC, but single track. I can't find
any mention of a 2nd track or control siding Herrington to Graf.
However, the speed restrictions list a speed thru the turnout at MP
296.29 (which is Graf's location) but identify the location as
LaCrosse.
Regarding CTC, it appears to me that 1946 is the wrong date.
Timetable for 1939 identifies Herrington to CMStP&P Crossing as
single track known as the Freight Track, movement in both directions
by signal indication, automatic block system rules in effect.
Timetable for July 1943 indicates Herrington to CMStP&P Crossing as
single track, CTC in effect.
Timetables in between 1939 and 1947, or after 1947 might verify the
actual dates.
