Wayside Signals to be Eliminated on the Pittsburgh Line

[jayrmli]

Looks like a lot of wayside signals and bridges, including many PRR Position Light signals, will be eliminated soon...

Yep. All intermediate signals will be removed. All existing interlocking signals will be replaced with new color-light signals. Pretty much anywhere that NS has cab signals is being converted to cab-no-wayside. It improves the system and makes is easier to implement PTC.

Its a very BAD idea.

Unfortunately the... people... at the FRA have ruled its okay: http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDe ... -0025-0005" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Permission to retire in place ALL automatic block signals between Conway and Harrisburg was granted!
