RE: (erielack) Signal question - East Lincoln Park

I wasn't thinking of the wye switch that was the result of combining the
Boonton Line and the Greenwood Lake.  I was thinking of the Dl&W era.
The wye was something like a "clear medium" signal.  There were these
Erie-style masts at Mountain View with red position lights on the top
and bottom and the signal for the train movement to the next block.

Here are Rich's (very useful!) drawings - it was originally sent as a
