[PRCo] WP signals

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

I assume that releasing the signals behind at a siding and
activating the signals ahead were separate functions.  The
drawing suggests they 'may' work simultaneously.  This is
in regards to the manual signals.
With 30-60 min headways there isn't much problem with
following cars, just opposing.  Did this system of signals
present many problems?  Did WP have cornfield meets
from signal failure?

How were signals handled when a second section was added
to a schedule?  Did both cars occupy the single track at the
same time?  Spacing could be a problem with all the curves.
I could see the first car forgetting about the second section
then shutting down the signals at the next siding.  This could
allow an opposing car to meet the second section on single
track.
