Greg,
Good photos seen, thanks! "Signal Box" must be a British way
of saying things. That's OK.
At least one thing is not right. The CMStP&P has not been
abandoned. The trackage is still at Crawford. Dispatchers
control that as part of CTC. Trackage is now called the
WICT. CTC is from Ports to Crawford. BNSF is now running
around 44 trains a day. Much more business than in the past.
I can remember the CB&Q having about 4 trains each way between
La Crosse and Savanna and considering that to be busy. I think
going from 8 to 44 makes that good business.
Note Winona:

Not train orders at both sides. The CMStP&P at one side and
the C&NW (Winona and St Peter) on the other side. From going
west it goes up the Stockton Hill and ends up going to
Rochester.
