Re: (erielack) Odd signal



A couple of questions:  Did the ERIE have a standard signal block length,
e.g. 2 miles?  Or was it shorter in higher-density areas?  Did the ERIE
have 3- or 4-block protection on its mainlines?

Hi, Paul

The triangle tricolors existed on the NY Division as well.  If you look in
your EL in Color volumes, you'll find a shot in Passaic with one, also I
believe they existed on the signal bridges on the passenger mainline
segment
that ran in between croxton yard and the DLW Boonton main.
