[CBQ] Re: Signals on the Q - West End Burlington Yard CTC

["qmp211" <milepost206@mchsi.com>]

Nelson,

The time period for these Main Street CTC signs would be mid-to-late 1960's 
with my first hand experience from 1969-1971.

I believe you will find CTC was extended to Lucas Street near the "turkey 
works" sometime after 1953.
