[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 806846, member: 10543"] From about 1977 at Sutton, IL, an Elgin, Joliet & Eastern freight is on the move. Taken with my Nikkormat FTn on Plus-X film, developed and printed in a basement darkroom built by my Dad for my brother and I. More Geeky Railroad Trivia: Those "A" markers on the signals denote [I]Absolute[/I], meaning that with a red signal displayed, a train must stop and stay. At locations without "A" markers, trains are permitted to stop and proceed at restricted speed on a red signal, prepared to stop upon sighting any obstruction.
