[CBQ] RE: CB&Q Interlocking Towers

[thompsonpe@aol.com]

Good morning,
 
I have placed the All Time Tower Groups initial CB&Q  Interlocking Tower 
list in the files section. This list is of manned  interlocking's.
 
There are a number of things to add to this by way of  explanation. First 
we have gathered 95% of this information from other railroads  ETT's and from 
the Railway Signal Engineer. Within our group there is no one  with any 
real knowledge of the CB&Q and we have almost no resources with  which to do 
further research. So I know there will be many interlocking's  missing, some 
spelling mistakes and probably the list has a multitude of other  mistakes.
 
I am hoping that those interested in this topic will perhaps  contact me 
with their information and corrections. One area we are looking at  because of 
recent C&NW information being made available are some areas where  the CB&Q 
was involved with the C&NW. 
 
On the C&NW Platte River Jct, NE to Hastings, NE  branch (abandoned 1942) 
there were crossings at grade at David City, NE  (UP-CB&Q-C&NW), York (CB&Q, 
Harvard (CB&Q) and Hastings (UP,  CB&Q,MP). There are question marks on the 
Lincoln Branch at Wahoo  (UP,CB&Q), and in Lincoln itself. It may be none of 
these locations had a  manned interlocking during their lifetime. Any 
information on any of these  locations would be really appreciated.
 
The All Time Tower Group has been active for 5 years now and  has listed 
more than 5,800 manned interlocking's in North America from the first  PRR 
Saxby & Farmer one to the present day. We list our information in  
State/Province files and 2 years ago we embarked on producing Company  files.
 
If anyone has additional questions or can help with the  CB&Q file would 
they send the e-mails to me at _thompsonpe@aol.com_ 
(mailto:thompsonpe@aol.com) 
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Peter E Thompson.
