Re: [CBQ] CB&Q Signal - La Crosse, WI - Grand Crossing Interlocking

["Jpslhedgpeth@aol.com [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

I wrote my reply before I read Bud's...He is correct...that is a unique situation and is, indeed, covered by the rules.  AGAIN..the bracket "says" that there is a track between the signal and the one it governs...These brackets did not always have a lighted signal on them..The FACT THAT THERE WAS A BRACKET SAYS, IN ITSELF, that there is an intervening track between the track that the signal governs and the signal itself.

Hi Tom. This might be a situation that is covered in the Consolidated Code signal section. The edition of 1980 pages 98 and 99, shows this situation where the signal on the bracket could be for a signal for the 1st track left on the track that the signal if by. There was one of these at Alpha and also one at Hannibal. Those were the only 2 I was aware of. This was done when there was not sufficient room to mount the signal between the tracks because of wide loads clearance problems. Bud Linroth

I ran across this photo on
railpictures.net from 
http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=447896

Very
interesting signal. Appears to be standard Q searchlight
signal with the spiked filial and lower signal head for
diverging. You can see the car is sitting at a switch. My
first guess was that the switch is the connection from the Q
to the MILW. But I also
found the location of the signal interesting. It is up
around the frog of the switch. The hyrail appears to be
actually beyond the switch points. I would have thought the
signal would be located before the switch points so there is
no chance of a crew fouling the switch points. I have not
had time to go back and search the track diagram for this
interlocking, but my guess is that the signal protecting
another switch just to left of the the photo, as well as the
diamond. Is this the case?
Interesting view for the low
location of the lower diverging signal head. Of course, most
interesting is the second short mast. What is it for? Is
that a small lunar signal mounted on it or something
else?
