Track Switch Control ...MOST LIKELY, crazy question, but...

[Edward H. Lybarger]

well have had, too.  100 had the automotive type handle that you pulled back
as on a truck.

dash to the right of the operators seat? I can remember the device but
cannot
remember what series of cars it was on. Or maybe I was on a bus too!
