Re: (erielack) Caldwell Branch Contemplation
What kind of operation was in effect on the Caldwell branch? Was it
signalled or dark? If I recall some passenger service timetables, there
must have been some moves which required one train to Essex Fells to
pass a train headed to Great Notch to make another run back to Essex Fells.
