Note by Charlie Whipp 4/7/2003: The Bay City branch had a short section of automatic block signals. This section was between Lake Orion block station (passenger depot) and a point 7,000 feet north of Oxford tower, signals B641 and B642. Starting at B641 and B642, there were a number of sidings and switches off the main line that needed to be protected from switch engines working the various customers and Oxford yard. There were also a number of trains that turned at Oxford. As an example, the Oxford local as well as gravel trains that went as far as Oxford yard to handle the gravel trains. These jobs worked around Oxford and the pit at Bailey's pit, just south of Oxford yard. There was also a wye at Bailey's pit. With all of this activity, it was necessary to protect the main line with block signals to prevent a mishap.
