| Description: |
before the mergers started, before Amtrak and before there were so many computers, in so many places, doing so many things that some people began to wonder if it was such a good thing after all! Now we have NAFTA, open borders and anything can be anywhere at anytime! Enough said, you ever understand or you don't! I'm just glad and happy that I was able to be there and to see these things! |

Signals at Finlayson |
| Description: |
at Finlayson looking west--- the train order signal indicates clear east and west, meaning that there are no orders from the dispatcher at this station. The ABS block signals show that there are no trains "in the block". The six foot main line switch stand shows that the switch is lined for the main track. We also know this to be true because the eastbound ABS signal says "clear block"! There might not be any trains, but there is a lot here if you can read the signals and understand what it is that they are saying! Notice that the train order signal is square ended. This means that it is an absolute signal and if it is red the meaning is stop and stay stopped unless a clearance is received. The ABS signals are pointed and if they are red then the signal is saying stop and then proceed at restricted speed! The operator could tell from these signals if an approaching train in either direction was 1 or 2 miles away. That is if the day indications of the semaphore arms were plainly visible. |

"Extra Milw 1014 East" |
| Description: |
Milw extra East from St Paul to Duluth on the Northern Pacific. Notice that the westbound ABS semaphore signal is pointed and has a number plate. If an ABS signal was dovetailed instead of pointed then that signal would be called a "distant signal" meaning that it governed the approach to a home signal located at the outer opposing limits of an interlocking. The next signal would be square ended and an absolute stop if found to be red! |

In the face of Amtk 8 |
| Description: |
Some welding needed to be done as the lookout keeps a sharp eye for safety and an ear to the radio waiting to hear "the Empire Builder" to go by the detector a couple of miles to the west! And they also knew that the dispatcher would be listening to that same radio, and Amtrak had better not get needlessly delayed. That is if they wished to get back out on the rail anytime soon! |

| Description: |
Why the power was cutoff and as to why the train took siding on the old westbound, we do not know! Perhaps they had to get the radio controlled helper engine up on the head end with the other two. Maybe there was a radio link problem. |
