CBQ 9914BA (Silver Swift and Silver Arrow) Being Swift and Straight

Name	Type	Comments	Date

Tim Huemmer	General	Very interesting picture. Wonder what those little semaphores are for that hang below the signal bridge?	6/4/2007 7:33:31 PM

Jim Vivian	General	To indicate to the crew that the sidewalk cross gates are functional? Earlville,IL had them into the BNSF era.	8/26/2014 7:15:59 PM

Bob Campbell	General	The smaller, lower semaphore signals governed westward movements into the sidings. Somonauk had both an Eastward and a Westward siding at the time of this photo. I would estimate that this picture was taken late 1941 or early 1942 account lack of "dings/dents" all over the front of 9914B.	8/18/2015 2:04:22 PM
