CPL Signals

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Let me add that the CPL's on the Bristol Line were last repainted in 1991, so their paint is pretty much gone now.  They are all considerably rusted.  I honestly wish they would replace them, they look terrible.  The ones in and around Roanoke are still kept painted and look super compared to our rusted versions.
 
The old CPL's are wired into the new network, and all their old track relays and such have been modernized.  The hardware is set up and ready for the new signals to be "plugged in".  I'm sure it won't be any time soon though.

Thanks for the great listing, Ben. Are there plans to
install more SafeTrans signal equiment in the
foreseeable future, or will these be CPL's be in
service for a while?

Also, has anyone compiled a list for the Shenandoah
Division?

Best wishes, all!

On the Bristol Line the remaining CPL installations
are, from east to west;

Radford
New River (east of the New River trestle)
Clark (old east end Clark)
Gunton Park (old west end Clark)
Stone's Mill (old east end Wytheville)
Wytheville (old west end Wytheville)
Schuleen (old east end Marion)
Marion (old west end Marion)
Glade Spring (old east end Glade Spring)
Washington (old west end Glade Spring)
Abingdon (old west end Abingdon)

All other installations of CPL's are gone, and were
either phased out or replaced with Safetran signals in
1996-97, except at east end Abingdon which was
replaced in 1999.
