    Cranes at that time would have been operating with a Conductor responsible for the authority to be on the main track.

    Re signals, I forget exactly when the new CTC signals went in here, but I don’t think there were any ABS signals at this spot before the installation of CTC, and I suspect that the intermediate CTC signals now near this spot would be just behind where the photographer is standing.
