Coast Line signaling and train meets
Author: SP 0-6-0

A blog post from 2014 (link below) talks about signaling on former SP coast line.

He says the switches are hand throw. Is that the case for the entire coast line?

Do both meeting trains have to come to a complete stop under the track warrant system?

The blog also says that UP removed searchlight signals and a pole line from the line. Why did UP downgrade the signalling on this route? Cost savings?

He shows a video of a meet at a place called Devon with Amtrak #11 waiting in the siding. I wonder if random meets on the coast line have a big impact on the Starlight's on-time performance?
