You can easily see the Jethro westbound signal from the Newell toll bridge, especially from the walkway. The 10mph at Midsteel may be due to the Whemco switcher, but I don't know for sure.

The view from Newell is tricky with the curve there. There's a way to get right up on the signals, but it requires trespassing which I didn't wanna do, especially down there. I wouldn't be shocked if Whemco was the reason for that 10 there. It confuses me so much because it's just your humble 2 mile section of single track

@CCBP1216 I know there used to be two mains and a siding for Crucible, but that shut down in 1982. The mill switchers could have the siding, but not the mains. My friend who was a conductor for Pennsylvania/ Penn Central/ Conrail had a plan worked out with the mill guys where he would take their inbound cars into the siding past the switch to the mill while the mill crew brought the outbound cars on the siding. Both crews would cut away, the mill switchers would back down to the inbound cars and take them into the mill yard. After they cleared the switch, the railroad guys backed up to their cars, coupled on, and shoved back out on the main, and coupled onto the rest of the train. Both crews were on their way in the minimum amount of time, but with the fewest moves.
