But Titus found one of those too. “I did a little more search-
ing around and found a second woodchip loader visible from
street view in Prineville, OR. This one has the pulley system
in clear view.”

“There is a pulley on both sides actually,” he said. “I believe the
mint green ‘thing’ near the loading tower is most likely a winch
that is used to position the car in both directions.”

Q.
This sounds dumb, but where do I put the signals on my
model railroad?
A.
The only dumb question is one that isn’t asked. You don’t say
whether you plan an automatic block signal (ABS) or a more-
sophisticated centralized traffic control (CTC) system.
The General Code of Operating Rules (GCOR) is used by many
western U.S. railroads, and this is what it says:
Rule 300. Location of signals:
Block and interlocking signals
when viewed in direction of movement are located gener-
ally to the right of the track, but may be located to the left or
above such track. Two signals may be bracketed and located
on a supporting mast for displaying indications for two
tracks. When viewed in the direction of movement, the sig-
nal to the right governs the track to the right, and the signal
to the left governs the track to the left.
