signal box ?
Posted by dstill on Friday, September 27, 2002 11:21 AM
I was in Topeka Kansas the other day and notice the signal box marked CP 67. What does the CP stand for?

CP - Control Point
The railroads are getting away from station names for every place on the line and changing them to control point. The signal CP67 is the control point at mile post 67.
