  signal was on the left side of the track.  Had it been located on the right side
  of the track, that coal trestle may have affected the ability of a crew to view the
  signal.

  Folks,
  There is also a signal at the West End of Marion's passing track that is the same way as Meadowview's signal because of the coal trestle track.  And, its still there.  It's on the fireman's side of the tracks.
   
  Also, I can remember setting on the hill above Marion's Industrial park watching the local switching cars for Brunswick Corporation, American Furniture, and another lumber yard that is now part of Visador/Coffmann industries.  This was when I was in primary school in the mid seventies.  I have no idea about train names, numbers or times, but it would have been around 12 noon when I was outside watching them.
