Bernie Feltman General Fred, in lots of applications, 100 feet would just get you to a connecting joint. That is an advanced form of primitive engineering that still fascinates me 10/12/2010 1:06:50 PM
Fred Stuckmann General Sterling Tower in Ohio had a wye and their switches were many hundreds of feet away from the tower. Thanks. 10/12/2010 7:29:40 PM

Howard Castellucio General About 15 or so yrs ago I got to put my back and legs into a cpl of these levers at Alexis twr. They were still connected to the B&O spur into the steel scrapers. Good God almighty!! Thats all I have to say! 10/14/2010 9:52:48 AM
