Thanks Rick, I was thinking that I had that one mixed up and was sure someone will correct it.  I've changed the offending text.  
I also have added a link to the Trains and Technology: The American Railroad in the Nineteenth Century, Volume 4 which is where I read of the 1884> date on pg 179.  This important clue for Mr Droste was somewhat buried, I might add.

Can you enlighten us about the TO operation a little as to Terminals, Division points, Branchlines and Intermediate Stations please? I was used to Tablet (token) operations for such.  

Do you have anything as to the intro. dates of the Banner type signals, I see Cimarron in 1886 didn't have one yet Webster in '87 did.  I'd like to see this issue clarified if we can.
