Another reason is having been trackside as a very young lad to see the last of the steam parade in Cape May County . I can just almost remember my father taking this shot of Reading G-3 # 214 with rake of PRSL coaches amign track speed on the way to Wildwood on the Cape May Branch. https://sphotos-b...

Glenn,
I further looking at the NPS document, it stated in the bibliography credits that a partial plan was supplied by the NRHS West Jersey Chapter. A phone call or other scribe to someone there might help you.

AFT southbound light engine move at Williamstown Jct on the PRSL 7 Sept 1976 by me. I didn't have the train in tow because of some goofy stuff at Frankford Jct in Philly, not sure what it was now. I have more photos, I'll dig them out and scan them when I get time. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hph...

......Perhaps the group currently in charge should just hand it over to the NPS, if this is a national landmark. Could it be any worse? Actually yes. NPS would be the last people I would want to see in charge of it. Do a Google for the NPS and their tactics in the Cape Hatteras National Sesshore. Y...

Further incestigation on an older track chart has revealed that there were as January 1961 in theTuckahoe Interlocking station's 28 lever machine, 10 levers for 13 signals,3 levers for 3 switches and 3 levers for 4 F.P. switches. What F.P. indicates I don't know.
