Saw a recent photo of a train on the test track at GE plant at Erie, Pa. What was interesting was that the photographer framed the train with what looks like a low mast dwarf signal in the foreground. What is the story, is this line protected my signals? Does it have any type of control or dispatcher set up (even if it is some guy in an office at GE that say yes go ahead and run)?
In other related thoughts on this track: What is its length? and what speeds are attainable on a test run?
If you are near Erie would you hear much on a radio to indicate a train is going to run? Do they have any routein for testing? Day, night, weekday only?
