Careful here Matt. Have you ever been over the C&NW main line from Chicago to the Missouri River? When the C&NW installed ATC (late 1920s?) the new system did NOT include wayside signals, except at control points (cross-overs, etc.). Since the UP/CNW merger, the UP is reinstalling double track, CTC, and full way-side signaling.
