Muncie, IN: Vance Tower: CSX/Big Four vs. CSX/C&O and maybe PRR

Mark Earl posted three pictures with the comment:

I know that I posted the first 2 pictures earlier. But I found another .This Is Vance interlocking in Muncie, IN 1990"s The third picture shows where the crossover was on the east side of Muncie.

Vance was where the now abandoned C&O crossed the east/west Big Four. A PRR route also crossed the Big Four a little west of here.

The third photo is the first time I have seen a photo away from the tower that shows how the signalling rods use fixtures to turn their action 90-degrees so that they can activate turnouts, etc. along the track.
