Color Position Lights Leaving CSX New Caslte sub?
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, December 12, 2004 1:02 AM
THis was recently posted on the CSX New Caslte sub yahoo group. I know there's a couple workers for csx that live on this foum and I wasn wondering if anyone has heard anything.

Hey all,

Just wanted to share that recently I had talked with a
friend who is very credible about the matter of CSX
changing signals on the New Castle Sub.

He said he had heard that January is the time when
it's going to happen.

That coincides with what I've heard on the
WesternOhioRails@yahoogroups.com list about when they
were done in Cincy this month, they were coming this
way.

Rumor is new signals Greenwich-New Castle...however.
No new CTC interlockings, no new crossovers, no
bi-directional signals, just basically new signals and
wiring.

Sorry DERF and JAL, forgot to ask about ATCS :)

Of course, we all know RR rumor, so if it doesn't
happen, it doesn't happen.

But apparently it got signed...(which I had recently
heard it did not)...so who knows!!

Either way, get your CPL shots now...

i think it might end up with TCS ....they are slowly TCSing the Keystone sub..a few more miles evey year... they got to connellsville this year... might start working west to the pittsburgh sub this next year....
