New signal station is put in operation

Switches and lights to be controlled from Cherry Street

Starting just after midnight tonight, the Toronto Terminals Railway Company will operate their new Cherry Street Interlocking Station, General Manager U. E. Gillen announced last evening. This station will operate switches, also signals, of the coloured-light type between a point 4,800 feet north of Don Station, on the C.N.R. and C.P.R., and Sherbourne Street; also between Sherbourne Street; also between Sherbourne Street and a point on C.N.R. Oshawa Subdivision 1,000 feet east of Cherry Street Interlocking Station. This station has 71 levers, and by means of 55 three-position signals, red, yellow and green, will control the movement through 7 double slip switches and 18 split switches.

The distance from the most northerly signal to Sherbourne Street is 11,400 feet, and from Sherbourne Street to the location selected for the most easterly signal, is 3,700 feet.

Cherry Street Interlocking Station is one of three such stations that are being installed by the General Railway Signal Company. The other stations are located at Scott and John Streets. Buildings at these stations have been completed and the work of signal installation is being proceeded with as rapidly as possible. The latter two stations will be in use during the present year.
