Josh H General I would say they would hay to use the signals if any trains other than WTNNs run on the line. My uncle used to run trains on this line when it was ICG. He retired a few years ago with CN. Used to work between Fulton and Memphis and out of Jackson. 7/20/2011 5:15:41 PM

Josh H General BTW these signals that are sideways have been there as far as I can remember. I remember when they were acually lit, probably when NS operated the line. 7/20/2011 5:22:52 PM
