I wonder if anyone has DL&W timetables #110, #111 or #112 if they could check and see at what point there is no longer the Automatic Block signal system listed for the Utica Branch (Chenango Forks to Utica)

I know it is gone by TT # 113, but suspect it may be there in #111.

also need the dates these were issued

Cactus....I assume you are refering to ETT's not PTT's. I have a number of DL&W PTT's, but not numbered like you state.

I have a #110 with me. It is October 28, 1956. It shows Preliminary Overlap Block System (Rule 509 (h) is in use between

SYRACUSE AND UTICA BRANCHES:

Chenango Forks and Thorn Street, Utica
Richfield Junction and one mile south thereof on Richfield Branch

When I get to where I have #111, #112 I look and see if there is a change.

It shows in my timetables 110 and 111 for both branches. The Preliminary Overlap system also shows up in Timetables 116 (1959) for the Syracuse branch, and for 117 (1960) for the Syracuse Branch as well. It was in use at Richfield Junction only on the Utica Branch in 1957 and gone from that branch after that.

Timetable No.111 is dated April 28,1957 and it is the last one I have that shows that signal system in only at Richfield Jct. It was gone after that, which is about when the Buffalo and Scranton divisions were merged together forming the Buffalo-Scranton Division.
