At 9:00 this morning, the signal system was suspended on the Old Main Line Sub from Frederick Jct. to Halethorpe [Baltimore 'burbs]. They have started the work removing B&O's Color Position Light signals and replacing them with Sneeze Board cheep's. I understand a big road needs to reduce the signal systems just to bring some sanity to the parts needed. I also understand B&O CPL's are supposed to be expensive to maintain...but DANG! You could see a CPL from a great distance; they were great to work with. I don't know about the cheeps. <br /> <br />It's really ironic...we will have some foreign signals, while Amtrak has replaced the old PRR Position signals with COLOR POSITIONS! The old B&O men would be spinning like lathes! [The old PRR guys would just look with slack-jawed wonderment, trying to figure out what happened...]
