Maybe it's a leftover protest sign [soapbox] - someone not happy with the Civilian Conservation Corps [:P]

Maybe it was "End CTC"? That indicates that the train approaching the sign is leaving Centralized Traffic Control territory, and must operate under other rules as specified in the employee timetable for that region.

In Nova Scotia, a train leaving CTC is usually entering OCS (Occupancy Control System) territory, and needs an OCS clearance (like a Track Warrant) obtained via radio from the RTC (Rail Traffic Controller - the dispatcher) in order to proceed.

I thought of that too, but I looked at it very closely and it was 3 c's.

This is, I believe, the tracks that Amtrak uses, if that makes a difference. Could this be something radio-wise?

Any clue about where the sign is? Railroad? Milepost? Station?

....tree68: You took the words right out of my keyboard. Probably most of folks on here never heard of it...CCC, that is.....From the '30's. We sure do have a bunch of state park components from their efforts in the country.

it is printed on a little house that they now use instead of towers. It is the one that shows mp 60.something.

If no ones comes up with something, I will go copy it all down - everything printed on the side of this little house and let you know.

End CLOSED CIRCUIT COMMUNICATIONS ?

Personally,I've never heard of CCC; CTC yes,BUT.

I'll go with either Larry's or Jim's interpertation,
That seems as close as anything[swg]

The driver will be so happy - he gets to take me to "our spot" and let me copy everything on the "house" down! See how I keep him so "happy" all the time! (didn't hurt that I bought him a black powder book last weekend so he would have something to do while I did my watching!) [^]

I'm not sure, but it probably needs to be ended. It's time has come and gone. If it is a military thing it is already under reveiw for replacement by a JACCC(D). Joint Advanced CCC (Deployable).

Black powder ...good...but generally I like to see what I shot within a reasonable timeframe afterwards.

ohmigosh - are you SURE you aren't in Nebraska - plus throw in we live in the east and everything great is in the west in this state!

[CShaveRR]

Be glad he's got a Black Powder book and not a Black Powder Magazine!

I'm looking forward to reading what's on the house (you may leave out any lines that begin, "For a good time, call...")

Well I like to hunt...but there isn't much space to do it, and what is available requires a bunch of rules and red tape and reservations....or you gotta join a club and pay big $$ for what they call hunting but I call slaughter.....I do get to go shoot skeet occasionally.

I'd spend time working on my beat up pick up, but the garage is too small and community association frowns on me puttin it up on blocks in the front yard while I strip to the frame. I could rent a stall and leave it on base and do the work..but that would mean a 30 mile drive every time I wanted to work on it.

I like to ski.........well I guess there's Big bear a few hours away, I just have to get off my lazy butt and do it. I like to ride the ATV..I do that some here to tell the truth.....

I go watch my kids play soccer (futbal) and softball, spend time working on model trains, continue the renovation a 30 year old "fixer upper" house...that takes most of my free time.

And I live vicariously through your postings........but mostly when I'm supposedly working..... and when I'm not trying to think of clever puns for Mook...

You see..before I lived here, I was stationed in Maine...and life was simple and good....and there was plenty to do right in the back yard......and it didn't take alot of rules, money or time to find it....I even had a rail line 150 feet from my back door...and a train even ran on it once a week or so....Maine was the nicest place I've lived......except for home sweet home Texas....so naturally, the Navy found out that I liked there and sent me to the exact opposite corner of the states....as far away as I could go and still be in the lower 48.....so that's what I mean when I say I've been sentenced to CA[:(]

Not sure about "CCC" but "CC" is often used for "Close Clearance" on some railroads.

What does skeet taste like?Maybe it's better with that "CCC"brand BBQ sauce on it.[;)]

[dharmon]

Skeet is kind of crunchy...kind of a clay taste to it....high in minerals though......like British food, it's the sauce that really makes it edible...

[edblysard]

Black block letters on a white background?
Sign about two feet long, 6 inches high, attached to the side of the building?
If so, would bet CCC was the name of the tower that was there before.
We have a sign on most towers, which became control points when CTC was installed, giving the name of the tower.
Try a figure out why a electrical bulding beside the tracks here simply said GLASS on it, had to ask a dispatcher friend about it, turns out the tower that was there protected a set of tracks into the Budwiser brewery, where the bottles were delivered, hence the glass track, and GLASS became the tower name.
Tower long gone, steel electrical cabinet there instead, but still called GLASS as a control point.

We interrupt this forum to bring you a late-breaking news story:

A reporterette went to the site of Mookie's posting and studied the site very carefully. What she saw was a small house with electrical items in it marked 1st and F Sts,
Lincoln Terminal, AAR Ch 66, Hall (tower) and 60.52 mp. What she did not see was CCC or any other alphabet. There was however a small sign next to the tracks that said "End CTC".

A call to Mz Mookie's compound went unanswered, but a source very close to the subject said that Mz Mookie has a bad case of glazed eyes and overloaded acorn and would be confined to bed for a few days. [X-)]

The source also apologized for any undue stress caused by the false sighting!
