>> SOUTHERN TIER LINE CHANGES:
>>
>> Beginning at 08:01 ET on Monday November 29, Form D's will be issued for
>> movement between CP-Marilla and a newly established CP-Panama
>> interlocking
>> at milepost 419.9 on the Southern Tier Line. This DCS Rule application
>> will
>> protect the installation of a new signal system between the two control
>> points.
>>
>> The new CP-Panama interlocking consists of an interlocked switch that
>> connects the single track to the Bison Yard West Lead. Several new
>> signals
>> have been erected in conjuction with the new interlocking, but have yet
>> to
>> be placed into service.
>>
>> Another new interlocking has been placed in service at milepost 415.6
>> and
>> is now known as CP-Broadway. CP-Broadway consists of an interlocked
>> switch
>> that connects the single track to Bison Yard East Lead. New signals have
>> also been erected to protect movements from all directions, through this
>> interlocking.
>>
>> New eastward distant signals at CP-Panama now govern eastward movement
>> on
>> the SK Yard Lead and the Bison Running Track at milepost 420.3. The
>> signals
>> convey no track information and display only an approach restricting
>> aspect.
>>
>> In conjunction with this new alignment, Rule 261 (bi-directional
>> signals)
>> is now in effect between CP-Broadway and CP-Panama. As a result of the
>> new
>> interlockings, CP-Depew and all associated signals, located at milepost
>> 415.2, is now out of service and officially retired.
>>
>> The hand operated switch located on the Bison Running Track at milepost
>> 420.1 to the ramp facility, remains in service as a hand-operated switch.
>> This switch will now officially be named the Panama Hand Switch.
