I visited these signals and both teardrop bells were gone :Curse1: And the worker there said the bells were stolen by someone and that they are removing these soon.

Looks like those cantilevers were both struck at some point before the line went dead, based on the custom electrical job both have.
They/Them for me, please.

Well that's a shame, was some nice equipment there. Though I suppose it hadn't seen a train in years at this point...

Some news out of Sarasota. The SGLR has removed equipment and ripped up their trackage through Sarasota starting from Fruitville Road and points south.
That's very sad, seeing a railroad be ripped apart only to be replaced by a damn trail.
Do you think any of the equipment could be salvaged?

Some of the stuff did appear to be newer, and I've heard that the SGLR tends to be rather "thrifty" at times, so I'd imagine that they would keep the equipment and re-use what's still in good shape.
