I have a question. Why is this busy crossing STILL such an anachronism and NOT a modern interlocked plant? Because railroading is first and foremost a business, I suspect the answer is money. My guess is the Pennsy [which controlled the junction] had no motivation to upgrade the signaling and control system at Brighton Park because it's Panhandle line was a secondary line and the major beneficiaries would be Pennsy competitors B&O and NYC. PennCentral certainly had no money for an upgrade. Are my guesses and suspicions correct? But why didn't Conrail and now NS upgrade Brighton Park into an interlocked plant?
