Harry Edmunds	General	What's the purpose of the control box since this is a ground-throw switch? Interesting photo though Fred.	10/19/2013 6:16:54 PM

Chris S	General	Maybe to activate a signal? Cool catch, don't know that I've seen this before	10/19/2013 9:33:17 PM

Fred Stuckmann	General	I never worked with one, but I've put a call out to my signal maintainer buddy. Thanks.	10/19/2013 10:04:50 PM

Pedro Rezende	General	Different signal control to me. I am wondering how it works.	10/21/2013 10:29:29 AM

Fred Stuckmann	General	From my signal maintainer buddy: " That's an electric Switch Lock. Unless the Signal Circuitry allows it, ( Signal Circuitry must detect no Trains in Block and allow at least 5 Minutes safety time), then the Trainman cannot throw switch points. Keeps Mainliners from running into open switch after accepting a "Clear Indication"."	10/21/2013 12:05:29 PM
