Re: Tracks out of service
Well, the tracks from the line are starting to get torn up, it appears:freebrickproductions wrote:Here's a video showing an out of service Nickle Plate Road line, with a number of old signals along it:
One of the crossings shown used to have a pair of Safetran 8 inch signals with a WCH mechanical bell and even a wishbone gate! They've sadly since been removed:

It happens occasionally, especially if you have a bunch of rail spurs right next to each other.NathanFromEngland wrote:OOS crossing before a in service crossing!

Also, I've kicked this over to what I believe is the better topic for it.

Crossing in Otway, Ohio a one signal that is missing three of it's lights.

This crossing further down the line in McDermott, Ohio also has a missing side light. Also, why does it even have side lights pointing that way?

Re: Tracks out of service
You know, this signal reminds me of those railroad crossings from some countries like France and Italy. where they only have one light on both the front and backToledoRailfan wrote:Crossing in Otway, Ohio a one signal that is missing two of it's lights.

Re: Tracks out of service
Doesn't look like ever had a second signal there. Might've always had one signal, especially since it's a one-way road.ToledoRailfan wrote:There's only one signal there.freebrickproductions wrote:That looks to still get use.ToledoRailfan wrote: Classic cantilever signal at an industrial spur in Portsmouth, Ohio.
