Blacksmith Interlocking was what many railroads would refer to as a control point. This was a remote controlled interlocking controlled by the operator at Niagara Jct. and was a integral part of the Lehigh Valley Railroad CTC system. The interlocking, or control point if you wish, featured a power switch and signals governing movement over this switch. The power switch controlled movement to either track 1 or track 2 off of single track for a e/b movement or, for a w/b movement, to single MT from either track 1 or track 2. There was a metal bungalow on the south side of the interlocking which contained all the electrical apparatus. The location gained its name from nearby Blacksmith Corners (intersection of Co. Rd. 28 and NY Rt. 96) and was put in service on 21 March 1972 per Lehigh Valley RR Zone E G.O. 918.
