RAILROAD SIGNALS of the U.S.

B&O RAILROAD
SIGNAL ASPECTS 1969
from C&O/B&O Rulebook Dated April 27, 1969

Both rulebooks below are divided into two signal sections.  The first section deals with signals found on the old C&O divisions, and the second section covers signals on the B&O divisions.  The C&O section rules, although dated 1969, are the same as the rules from the 1958 C&O rulebook I have here.  Why they released both versions of the rulebooks on the same, I haven't a clue.

The B&O rules were re-numbered to begin with a "B", such as B-281.

Does anyone have a rulebook from the earlier years, say the 20's or 30's, that they would like to share?
