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?
