3rd & Townsend had a bunch. They were air operated and were quick. I think Oakland had them and so did LAUPT.

Loved the one at "245" (?) at the top end. It was hand thrown and it was a kick when a new switchman would catch that herder job. They would go out and line what they thought was a good line up. Only to walk back and have to look again from a locomotive or box car for height to see how to, "Try Er Again".
