Title: Numbers and Markings
Post by: David Longest on January 15, 2014, 01:06:14 pm

In the Dave Ritenour photo DR265f, taken in New Albany as the train is nearing the southbound approach to the K&I bridge, there is a number 8, on a signpost.  What did that "8" signify?

Thanks, David

David, it actually says 8R.  It's some sort of number to identify that signal.  I don't know what exact coding the K&IT RR used, but on the Monon main lines the signal numbers corresponded to the MP locations.  / Ron
