Location: Vistula, MI - CP-11
CP-11 was a New York Central control point at the west end of Vistula siding in York Township, Indiana.
Notes
This control point was installed in the late 1950's when the NYC's Air Line was upgraded for high volume freight service.
Most control points are identified by their milepost location, but the Air Line CTC numbered them consecutively begining with CP-1 (XXX Tower in Jackson) and going west. The control points for Vistula siding were CP-10 and CP-11. Vistula siding was about 2.5 miles long.
Time Line
2023. The control point is still in existence and used by the Grand Elk railroad. [GMAP-2023]
