Before the ICC siganl rules of 1948 did the Milwaukee Road use cab signals or automatic train stop on those parts of the line where speeds of 100 m.p.h. were common? If not, what kind of signals did it use--upper quadrant automatic block signals?

There were any in cab signals in the 1940s. There were the regular signals such as the semaphores.
