The photo also shows some additional changes that may be less obvious to those outside of the railway industry. The newly installed concrete telephone booth at Mulheron Street will enable eastbound crews on the Northampton Sub. to call the yardmaster in South Newbridge before entering the yard limits, and the new maintenance shed next to the station will provide equipment storage for the section gang on the branch. But the biggest changes of all--shown in the foreground--are the CTC signals that have recently been installed. In addition to the signals on the Northampton branchline, CTC signals have been installed between Hawkins Corner and Rosedale on the Avondale Subdivision. These really are changing times for the Carleton Railway.Tuesday, September 6, 2011
Changing Times
In its efforts to provide increased efficiency and convenience for its customers, the Carleton Railway continues to upgrade its facilities. The soon-to-be-opened "Mulheron Street" flagstop station will provide convenient passenger access to the commercial centre of South Newbridge, allowing shoppers and retail employees a much shorter commute to the fashionable stores and offices of the bustling downtown area.

Cool! New phone booths for RR communications AND signals! Where will it end?
Nice update Steve, Hope you had an enjoyable summer.

Nice reports and work as always.
I hear from the "other" railway that the Carleton Railway will soon be operating on a more regular schedule.

Yes Doug, I think the "other" railway is worried. Some upgrades have been happening there also to keep up with the potential competition once the Carleton Railway is operating again on a regular schedule.
