S. P. Puts In 45000 Device Here On Rail Line
Southern Pacific crews near Toronto install a 45000 signaling and remote switch system across twelve miles between here and Paisano. The project, costing about 45000, will let station staff monitor train positions from a central board and allow centralized control of all switches from Alpine. The setup, still in progress, is one of only three in the United States, with others near Houston and in California. The system promises simplified operations and reduced crew directions, though installation remains careful work for the foreman.
