The Burlington-Washington branch line was dark. TT&TO were used the entire life
of the line, but by the 1940s, no operators were still around to copy orders
and man the train order boards because traffic was down to one mixed train
daily except Sunday. I suspect that most of the branch lines were dark.
Somebody in the BRHS was working on a Bulletin article on signaling, but I
haven't heard anything about it for years. It would be a great service to Q
modelers to make that material available.

Subject: [CBQ] CB&Q signals
I am curious about what type of signals used by the CB&Q in the late 40s, early
50s. Looking through my books I see a mixture of lower quadrant semaphores in
the early pictures and some searchlights in the later pictures with some three
light verticals scattered about. Lower quadrant semaphores appear to be the
type used for train order signals at stations.
Also I would like to see some schedules with signaling rules on the branch
lines, particularly on the K&W line from Alexandra MO.
