RE: [CBQ] signals at Burlington

Bill:
 
The old cantilever (two track cantilever at MP 204.99) only had signals for the 
two east-west mains.  The K-Line along side had ground mount signals as I 
recall.  There was a searchlight approach signal around the curve to the south, 
and probably a dwarf control signal near where old Wood Street tower would have 
been located.  My guess is that the new signal bridge will also control the 
K-Line if it is a three track cantilever.
