Signaling on Abington Branch

[NW Mailing List]

There was one signal on the Abingdon Branch.

Signal A08 was a northward signal located eight tenths of a mile south of 
the junction at Abingdon,  It could display "Approach" and "Stop", and 
protected the trackage to the junction, at which was a controlled signal 
allowing movement off the branch onto the passing siding at Abingdon,
