it is printed on a little house that they now use instead of towers. It is the one that shows mp 60.something.

If no ones comes up with something, I will go copy it all down - everything printed on the side of this little house and let you know.

Maybe it was "End CTC"? That indicates that the train approaching the sign is leaving Centralized Traffic Control territory, and must operate under other rules as specified in the employee timetable for that region.

In Nova Scotia, a train leaving CTC is usually entering OCS (Occupancy Control System) territory, and needs an OCS clearance (like a Track Warrant) obtained via radio from the RTC (Rail Traffic Controller - the dispatcher) in order to proceed.

This is, I believe, the tracks that Amtrak uses, if that makes a difference. Could this be something radio-wise?
