RE: (erielack) Signal question - East Lincoln Park

Ed,

That signal was the westbound interlocking signal for East Lincoln Park
- - it retained its 2-head (2-arm? :)/2-lamp configuration through the end
of EL. There were no intermediate signals between East Lincoln Park and
West Lincoln Park, so I suppose technically it was also an approach
signal for West Lincoln Park.

Aren't signal discussions fun? :)
