Bob,

That was the practice as I experienced it. High switch stands in a yard would be a hazard because of the work procedure of working along the leads while switching cars.
You still had to be aware of the low switches as well.

Rich Gortowski and I were discussing different types of switch stands and their assignments. As I understand it, the tall ones were for tracks diverging from the main while the short ones were used in yards and switching areas, e.g. industry spurs. Hoping Leo or another veteran can clarify.
