A friend of mine who is well acquainted with the Union Pacific brought up cab control signal (CCS) implications. This train would have needed UP style CCS from Grand Island to North Platte on the UP. He asked whether PRR or CB&Q required Cab Signal or ATS on freight for their sections? On westbound was a UP CCS leader added at Grand Island to replace the PRR one?
I did not think CB&Q had cab signals in their freight units. The PRR might have for northeast operations, but I don't know.
Can anyone shed light on this cab signal conundrum?
