Re: [CBQ] Re: Question re; spring switches

[STEVEN HOLDING <sholding@sbcglobal.net>]

Railway Age June 15, 1959 talks about "Q's Modified CTC cuts Costs"  This was 
the "poor man" CTC where only one switch and siding were controlled with the 
other a spring switch.  The dispatcher would put a train in the siding for a 
meet and then they would spring out.  There was an ad in RA Aug. 27, 1956 for 
the same type of signaling from Union Switch and Signal
The switch returned to the normal main line route after being sprung thru.
