From: Alan Lambert Lone Star Flyer club Arlington, Texas Roger, I am also impressed. Andre has a point. Down here in Fort Worth, Texas, we have tower 55 where North, South,East and West Trains from UP, BNSF All meet. 2tracks N&S and 2 tracks E&W. We will be seeing it upgraided to 4 tracks each way in the near future. I need 4 times the space than what I have to be able to model this. I could do it by using 2 fantom lines going N& S but It wouldnot look good. AmTrac has to deal with that area to get to the station. Thanks, Alan

It’s nice to get remarks from a real railroader! The Monon had rights over it’s whole mainline, since it was the first railroad built. It had no towers and crossed dozens of east-west lines, including the mighty and the not so mighty.

Had nearly the same thing happen a couple weeks ago working the night job: Four trains (mine being the 4th) that had to leave an interlocking in sequence. 1. The eastbound UP train that had all of us blocked. 2. The westbound UP train that had me and the northbound AM train tied up by virtue of being next on the signal. 3. The northbound AM train that had me blocked and would become the third train out on the signal. 4. Me. It sucks to arrive late at an interlock party!!
