Thread-topic: [CBQ] Hand car / service car
Yes, it does mean that it would not set off the signals, so a flag man would 
guard the crossings and for minor road work a line-bar would be dropped across 
the rails to activate the signal.  A few Sundays a year my father would take me 
out along the Q tracks south of Ottawa and we would pick wild asparagus and 
then a few weeks later we would go out to pick naturalized strawberries that 
grew along the line where a large truck garden had been prior to WWII. All that 
was left were the plants that had gone wild along the fence line and up on the 
ROW.

Great strawberries. I wish I had been smart enough to like asparagus at that 
age.

Rupert,  Under the larger CB&Q letters is the word insulated I
believe.  Would that mean they would not set signals on the rails?
