Good catch! While attending Penn State, I worked 3 summers ('68-'70) for the Penn Central on the Buffalo Line, from Emporium, Pa (hometown) north to past Franklinville, N.Y. In a recent issue of my hometown weekly newspaper, the following is mentioned in some news reprinted from April 1901: "The Pennsylvania railroad is using the block system the entire distance between Emporium and Harrisburg." What is the block system?
