This is part of my display in the Batavia, IL Depot Museum. Underneath the crossarm is a chart, actually a schematic drawing, from 1915 showing a portion of the telegraph and signal lines of the Chicago Burlington & Quincy RR (now BNSF) from Chicago westward. The original drawing is 12 feet long and extends as far as Denver. I got the original chart off eBay.
