: 9/8/99, General Motors Box will be abolished.  Signals 3, 10, 11 & 13;
: Points 4, 7 & 8; and Plungers 5 & 6 will be abolished.  Down Home 14 will
: be converted to Auto D1097, Up Home 2 converted to Auto D1098.  D1098
: controlled by 5P (not a V5P?) keyswitch & remains interlocked with Xing at
: Progress St.


Will I took a trip down there and it was all going (frame included) and now
there is just straight through track, the siding is also gone.

Also the key is a V5P.

I got a few photos of the frame before they started to pull it apart.
Just to keep people happy the frame is going to a private collector.

Would I be correct in saying that from the time the frame was put in
(1956) till now that there were no changes? (Apart from the addition
of a platform for Up trains, and stopping/express selection of down trains
which isn't realy an alteration to the frame.)
