The water tank at Bonsack is just east of MP N-251 .  If the photo was made at Bridge 90, the water sign would be about MP N-252.5.  This info is from a 1953 track chart, revised 1/1/63.

There's one other reason why it's probably the Bonsack crossover -- I don't have all I need
to research when TC was installed and I don't know if the 1953 track chart shows it --
when N&W detoured traffic, there was a supervisor at each end of the detour.  The supervisor
issued the  train entering  the detour a "right of track" slip, which read in part, "I will protect you". He conferred with the dispatcher, and manipulated the turnouts.  Other roads just used an operator.  The supervisor stayed in a shanty , (like the one shown) which was phone-equipped, but had no refrigerator and no air conditioner.
