This crossing in Spokane Valley, Washington has four Griswold cantilevers that all have Griswold Type B lights, on a BNSF line too!
They/Them for me, please.

All of the lights work, it appears, though the visor on that light is somewhat damaged.

here an abandoned pair of griswold highway flashers with the rotating stop sign that still have stop signs in fairbault mn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

https://www.google.com/maps/@44.2945543 ... authuser=0

also notice how they put exempt on the stop sign and are in the operating position but aren't on that's because they put the exempt signs on the stop signs and they modified them so that they would stay in the operating position and not turn 90 degrees like they normaly would

this is so totally ex Milwaukee road right here a they loved to use these!
very lucky to live two-three blocks away from three teardrop bells. one of which i see at least once a week!

The remains of a Griswold Rotating banner in Finland, MN. The line was a Eerie line.

You can see only half of it is there, the relay case is there too.

You sure that was an Erie line? They never ran west of Chicago (both the Erie and the EL), as far as I can tell.
They/Them for me, please.
