What was the story (if any) of MS Interlocking from this period of time? Why an interlocking kind of dropped in the middle of S251 territory?

I was only directing what you were saying from your quote, Datenail. That there is more to running a railroad than what is seen by someone punching tickets. I am talking tweaks that doesn't require equipment manipulation changes, crews required, etc. It is just where the crews begin (and end) their ...
