Glen,
Unfortunately I do not have any more information regrading the
diamond at Laclede and when it was removed.
At Sumner, it just says Wabash Crossing (Grade). There is nothing
else about it anywhere else in the timetable. So I assume that means
it was not interlocked. I don't have a Wabash Moberly Division
employee timetable that goes back in the late 40's to check what it
says. The Sumner office was open 7:45 am to 4:45 pm Monday -
Saturday. The mixed ran on Sunday and then Tuesday-Saturday. The
Sumner office was open when the mixed went through Tuesday -
Saturday.

As time permits, do you know when the diamond at Laclede was
removed (I know it was gone by 1951, but it may have been
earlier), and if the Wabash crossing at Sumner was signaled and
interlocked before the new/rebuilt line had CTC installed?

Cotter on Needles to Maxwell line
Glen,
In the April 9, 1944 Centerville Division Employee
Timetable, Forker is
shown 82.4 miles from Sedan, 186.5 miles from Burlington
and 34.1 miles
from Carrollton. The timetable notes that the switch for
the Forker stub
track was on the north end with a 8 car capacity. Cotter
is not listed.

I think name of Cotter was created for the westerly
junction in 1951, and the name did not exist prior to
then. Forker may have existed before, however. It lasted
until all remnants of the section between Laclede and
Forker were taken up.
