Amtrak [New] PARK Interlocking

USA / Pennsylvania / Atglen /
 railway, interlocking
Interlocking on Amtrak's Keystone Corridor main line. Basic crossover with 45 mph turnouts, constructed in 2009. Originally referred to as 'ATGLEN', the name was later changed to 'PARK' after Amtrak decided to close (and subsequently remove) the original PARK interlocking to the east and essentially replace it with this one.

Currently the eastern limit of Rule 562 cab-signal operation.

Comments

  • True, it's your standard pair of crossovers with 45 mph turnouts. But they have movable point frogs and are occasionally mistaken for high speed switches.
