Several years ago, UP did some preliminary work to upgrade Main 2 on the Joint Line to CTC. However, progress seemed to drop off and the track is still controlled by Track Warrants and Automatic Block Signals. If you look on the opposite side of this northbound BNSF manifest, you can see an intermediate signal. But note the signal head for southbound is point 90° to the right as it is not currently operational.
