| SEPTA Norristown Line CP Ford Interlocking Norristown PA April 6 and 13 2014 |
| After years of planning and months of work, it is showtime at CP Ford. The new signals are being tested. The old northbound signal has been removed from the catenary support and replaced by two mast-mounted signals, facilitating movement in either direction on either track. |
 |
| The dwarf signal for the connecting track is gone, replaced by the three head mast signal. |
 |
 |
| The new southbound signals are now just south of the old platform and mirror the northbound signals. |
 |
| One of the results of all the work has been a major housecleaning of the vegetation in the area, revealing this long forgotten road between the ex-Reading and ex-Pennsylvania lines ... |
 |
| as well as other relics from the past. |
 |
| As for the new, by April 13, everything was up and running. |
