FWIW, relatively new pictures on       nycsubway of the LIRR trunk line show signal bridges with PRR       style signals.              I don't know about former PRR lines now owned by freight carriers.              Didn't the Norfolk & Western, once owned by the PRR, also use the amber       position light system?              --- SoupGate/W32 v1.03        * Origin: LiveWire BBS -=*=- UseNet FTN Gateway (1:2320/1)    |
