Being a part-time railfan and a full-time conductor I have had the opportunity to run on CTC territory, ABS territory, and DTC territory. I have also gone across "manual interlockings and automatic interlockings. The CSX-NS diamond in Danville, IL has a speed cap of 20mph on it, but then the angle is probably about 55 degrees and there's a welding crew out there at least once a week!! Then on the 90 degree diamonds the speed cap is 40mph. Four of the interlockings I go across are controlled by the dispacher and two are automatic. The two automatic ones have the lightest amount of cross-traffic on them and I have only had to stop at one a single time in the past six months. The Dolton Interlocking in Chicago still has a tower in use and I have actually met one of the operators while I was wye'ing my power because of an engine failure. Of course, even Dolton will soon become remotely controlled, but that will be one HUGE PROJECT!!!!
