Dear Mr. Stewart:
Q,,t�� P.
fn_ Q
•
This is to confirm our telephone conversation March 25, 1974, concerning
the installation of track circuit for connection to your traffic signals at
Everhart and Holly Roads.
The Texas Mexican Railway Company will furnish labor and all material
to install the track circuit, including insulated joints, instrument case,
track rectifiers, interlocking relays, track transformer, meter loop, and
all wiring to enable City to connect traffic signals to the track circuit
for the purpose of pre - empting normal traffic timing, to warn of approaching
train traffic.
It is estimated that this installation can be installed at a cost to the City
of $4,500.00. This cost can be held firm through June, 1974, provided
authority to order material is issued by this date. Please allow seven to
nine month lead time to obtain material and installation.
I hope this is the information you need to progress this project. And should
you need any further information, please call on me.
cc Mr. C. M. O'Bryant
Yours very truly;
I,
