This will give you protection on any thru trains. 203 EAGLE SIGNAL CORP - cont However, a train that stops at the station would not hold up cross traffic as the gateman would throw the system as soon as the train stops and a train starting from that point would not be a hazard. The location of signals is rather a problem. How- ever, we suggest that the signal on the south side of the Northwest Highway intersections is shown to on comming traffic from the near side of the track, and have located a signal on both sides of the track to give proper indications. 'We estimate the cost of this system completely in- stalled and turned over to the City as a operating unit, for the sum of approximately $5500.00. This figure, of course, is purely approximate and would be perfectly safe for an .estimate of cost should you care to set up funds in an ordinance. remain, Trusting we may be of future service to you, we Very truly yours, EAGLE SIGNAL CORPORATION GEW:LH G.
