Station Sign "Roseville"

TJ Gaspers	General	A 'Shunt' has to do with signals- both grade crossing and train control signals (though because this line is totally dark, I assume it has to do with Snelling Ave's grade crossing flashers).

Station Sign "Roseville"
This piece of ex-Northern Pacific track links the Minnesota Commercial's former Minnesota Transfer mainline with the ex-NP Skally Line fragment that runs from White Bear Lake to Hugo. This station sign can be found two blocks east of the County C/Snelling intersection. Anyone know what the "Shunt" sign is for?
