Hi Eric;
Were these the semaphores on either side of the cut-in to and cut out from
the MacTier Sub?
Hi Les
Possibly, I have photos showing all of the other signals except these two. I
did not see any evidence of any signal bases near the switches when I was up
in the area in 1994/1995 when the tracks were being pulled out. I did see a
base for a signal at about mile 13.5, but I suspect that it was for a distant
signal. I'm interested in the mid 70's configuration.

Eric, when I was "on the road" for my employer in the late '80s/early '90s, I
used to park for my lunch break, when in the area, at the CPR MacTier/CNR
Midland diamond at Medonte, which was between the incoming CPR from Orilla and
the outgoing cut to the CPR wye on the Port McNicoll side. The semaphore on the
Orillia side was still in place, but disappeared soon after when the turnout
was spiked. It was about 400 yards north of the switch. On the P McN side, I
recollect a base, but cannot remember how far it was from the switch. There
were still tracks on the north branch of the wye for a distance which were
being used for bad-order storage.
