On pages 66-67 of Locomotive 2016 edition (great issue by the way) your Train-watcher's guide to LA shows lots of places named CP Something. What does CP stand for ?
I'm not a railroader, but as I understand it, CP stands for Control Point.
You would get a much better response by posting this in the Trains Magazine forum.
