RAILROAD SIGNALS of the U.S.

SIGNAL ASPECTS of the
B&O RAILROAD
from C&O/B&O Rulebook Dated April 27, 1969

RAILROAD SIGNALS HOME

Both rulebooks below are divided into two signal sections.  The first section deals with signals found on the old C&O divisions, and the second section covers signals on the B&O divisions. 

The C&O section rules, although dated 1969, are the same as the rules from the 1958 C&O rulebook I have here. 

The B&O rules were re-numbered to begin with a "B", such as B-281.

Does anyone have a rulebook from the earlier years, say the 20's or 30's, that they would like to share?

All of the pictures below are available here as a PDF (~4megs).
