Knowing next to nothing about signaling and signal aspects, I  have been 
more than curious about this. I had thought about an article such as  this 
using illustrations of signals from the Erie diagram book along with  track 
diagrams that would illustrate how such things work. (I don't have any  
knowledge about the Lackawanna side, so this could be a two-part or multi-part  
feature.) If much of the information that is now being shared on the list  
could be combined with signal drawings and track diagrams, we might end up  with 
an interesting article for the Diamond. 

Question: Is Ben Anthony  still the ELHS advisor for signalling? 

Question (again) to Mike  Shafer: Doyou think this would work?

I suppose we could do that, Jim. Even better, you could do  it given your 
interest. I'm sure you'd 
do a great job. These books are  pretty common at railroadiana and train 
shows, so it wouldn't be 
hard to  get the original materials, but failing that, you could 
undoubtedly find  copies among the 
listers here.
