Foreign Interlockings

[NW Mailing List]

This may be a "stretch", but consider Montview on the Southern
at Lynchburg.  In 1934, this connection between the N&W and
Southern was operated as an "absolute block".  Part of the
connection was owned by N&W and part by Southern. Special
Instructions in the Norfolk Div. time table stated that trains
(Nos. 17-18, 41-42 and others) would retain their numbers and
their class on the connecting track.  So the Southern operators
had to signal N&W crews to proceed into (and off of) Southern
ownership.  The track chart shows that N&W also owned one of
the interchange tracks paralleling the Southern main line.
