When the crossovers from Cisco, and Andover were relocated inside Shed 10 and Shed 47 in 1966 and 1967 when the interlocking plant was extended to include the power switches from Truckee to Emigrant Gap. the Station Points of Shed 10 and Shed 47 were set under the instructions of DJR and since the crossover at Emigrant Gap was installed under the highway and was west of shed 10 it wzs designated Switch 9. These Stations were shown in the Timetable and on the Norden interlocker.
Maybe OPRRMS has a different explination from his Union Officals, but I Don't remember him or them in attendence on the Car Sunset when this was discussed.
