Speaking of CPL's.......

I have the inspect light from EASTWOOD on the Peavine.  It was a two-light
jobbie with red and green lights.

Jeff:


There was an inspect train signal at Kilby,


west of Suffolk for westbounds.  It was a


one light signal lettered "Inspect Train".  


Provided no defects were detected, the signal


would remain "dark".  But if a defect occurred,


the operator or dispatcher would flip the light


on.  So what happened if there was a defect


and the bulb had burned out ?  Probably 


Henry Nase made revisions when he became


Manager of Rules.





There was also a detector at Dwight.  In those


days, detectors transmitted sound on the dis-


patcher's line as a train passed.  Bear in mind


that after the agent/operators at Windsor, Wake-


field, Waverly went home, the dispatcher at Crewe


didn't get an "OS"  in the 45 miles (or so) between


the end of TC at Disputanta, and the distant signal


for the ACL/VGN/NF&D crossing at Suffolk.  Ah,


but the detector at Dwight became a "dummy


operator"  24/7.
