Shan Noe commented on Darren's post
Gridley in it's later years controled the TCS island around Anderson. Gridley was at MP 245. But it controlled CP 250 (Taft) to CP 245 (Gridley). Though it did not control DELCO (for some reason).
Jim George: Shawn Noe They also controlled CP Martin, (east end of Anderson yard) and CP KY (downtown Anderson). Didn't control Delco because it was a Pennsy tower and had its own operator.
