Re:RE: (erielack) I hope there were two tracks then

I didn't know that.  I do know that to stop a train, the engineer used to
have to blow for the brakemen to wind up the brakes, and he might put the
engine in reverse.  The Lackawanna, (M&E?,) didn't use fixed signals, until
after a disaster, one foggy day, on the Meadows.  But the pictures were
looking at date from 1915, and these engines are more substantial that
Civil War models.
