Train, I think that you got it backwards. If the story that you are talking about was at USTICK Tower at Murray, they removed the puzzle switches, installed new signaling, and installed a series of crossovers. I got to see those MOW guys and signal guys bust their humps to get that stuff installed in a relatively short amount of time. My explanation of a puzzle switch is poor, but, here goes...instead of having a succession of crossovers, the puzzle switches are kinda a combination of crossing and crossover in one. Very complex item, and I are very pricey. **** poor explanation, you need to see one to understand it. The company that I used to work for manufactures them, there may be some pics on their home page. Try a search on "ABC Naco or Meridian rail products," or try a search on the competitor "Progress rail," You will know it when you see it. The frogs and switches are clustered togeather. They look like a bunch of rails going every which way. Hope this poor explanation helps.
