While your sarcasm is noted, the general tenor of your message falls well short of productive. It would appear as if I was mistaken about the location of Passaic Junction on the NYS&W. I've never made the claim of being infallible but I do appreciate that you think I'm a high ranking employee and know everything. I didn't have access to my track chart of unfamiliar territory and simply ran off of what I believed to be correct. You'll notice that I never explicitly stated that I knew where Passaic Junction was and only shared my beliefs on it's location.
To clarify though Blockline and Pumpers; as Brian pointed out in his previous post, BT and PC are two different interlockings controlled from two very separate places. They might both control a common track and be located very close to each other, but that does not make them the same interlocking. So you were in fact wrong when you said they were.
