Comments on: Splitting CN 327 in two. CN 327 has just finished splitting its train in two and putting it into the two sidings in Huntingdon on CSXT’s Montreal sub as the train would not fit in the first siding. The conductor has just finished putting the derails back on and is lining the switch for the main. Soon a CSX crew will show up with CN 326 and take this train south. Power is a pair of CSXT AC units (AC4400CW CSXT 5106 and SD70MAC CSXT 4817). http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

So I wonder who would have installed the switchstand. This is ex-CN trackage, it was the CN Massena sub, and Conrail bought the section west of Huntingdon in 1993.

The former CSX (ex C&O) Switchstands along the #1 subdivision in Ontario were quite tall - and retained their original targets - still in use in the 21st century (may still be there today, actually). They date to approx 1890 or so. A photo to illustrate: http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=6512 Now that’s a tall Switchstand.
