Thanks, Andre. It’s nice to get remarks from a real railroader! The Monon had rights over it’s whole mainline, since it was the first railroad built. It had no towers and crossed dozens of east-west lines, including the mighty and the not so mighty. Roger

Had nearly the same thing happen a couple weeks ago working the night job: Four trains (mine being the 4th) that had to leave an interlocking in sequence. 1. The eastbound UP train that had all of us blocked. 2. The westbound UP train that had me and the northbound AM train tied up by virtue of being next on the signal. 3. The northbound AM train that had me blocked and would become the third train out on the signal. 4. Me. It sucks to arrive late at an interlock party!!
