Jack Delano's train has stopped at Melrose to meet a eastbound train.
The caboose is near the same crossing that you saw on the previous page. Melrose is at milepost 681.
This is what the end of every freight train should look like. Just like every sentence should end with a period, a train should be punctuated with a caboose at the end.
The eastbound train has gone by and Jack's train is on the move again. At this time this subdivision was operated by train orders. CTC would be installed
the following year. Note the old cantilever signal bridge with upper quadrant semaphore signals.
