One of the opsig list members has done a major service in getting me
straightened out. He pointed out that page 15 on the TT explains what the
letter means. He also explained that the yard limit board is on the east side
of Revelstoke on the Mountain Sub and on the west side of Revelstoke on the
Shuswap sub, as you were telling me.
I think I have is mostly figured out now.
Thanks

Does than mean that the other limit is the 'Z' on the left (west) side of
Three Valley (which is on the Shuswap sub)? That's the first 'Z' west of
Revelstoke.

Revelstoke is a Division point. You have to look at the Shuswap Sub. for
the other Yard Limit.

A long while ago this note was posted:

It explained the meaning of the letters on CPR timetables.
This raises a question in how the letters were used. Pacific region TT
(http://www.cptracks.ca/data/TimeTables_Employee/ETT_92_1948_Sep26.pdf)
It shows the following for the Shuswap Sub (I've only included the yard
limit letters):
Revelstoke Z
Clanwilliam
Z Three Valley
Taft Z
Craigellachie Z
Malakwa
Cambie
Solsqua
Z Sicamous Z
Annis
Mowitch
Canoe Z
Salmon Arm Z
etc.
I assume that a letter on the left side of a station name denotes limits
on the west side of a station and letters on the right side designate
limits on the east. I'm also assuming that if a letter is missing the
yard limit extends to the next station.
But if true there many problems. Sicamous works well with the station
entirely within yard limits but what about Revelstoke? It make sense if
limits extended from East Revelstoke up Eagle pass to the west switch of
Three Valley. Or maybe the limits extend from west switch Three Valley
to east switch Taft?
Does anyone know how the limit letters are paired up to form a west-east
interval?
Thanks
