[PRCo] Re: Mile Markers

[Edward H. Lybarger]

Actually, I think the signals went in on Washington before they did on
Charleroi.  The information is in the library and not in my files at home.
US&S sent the photographer out to record the Washington installation...they
would have done that the first time, but likely not the second or third
(Charleroi and Overbrook).

Charleroi was completed first.   Washington Junction was the junction  
where Washington took off from the Charleroi line.   I think the  
signal numbers were signal distances from the junction.    Make sense?
