Shame there aren't any signal graveyards in the KC area. :Awww:

Seriously? I’d expect that UP’d have at least one... Probably near Neff, but I’d be very surprised if there isn’t one.

There used to be one by the Amtrak station in Independence, but UP got rid of all the equipment that was sitting there. I think Neff yard has one, but if not. It's safe to assume that there isn't any in Kansas City. Maybe KCS has one?

Yes, a chance. I’d also think BNSF might have one somewhere, as well as the KCT, maybe? KC is such a big terminal city, gotta be one there somewhere...

Has to be one somewhere. I hope to get more bells someday along with a gate light, and maybe some more crossing lights. On a unrelated note, UP was back at Sterling Ave and Harvard Ave checking the rails after the crash on Tuesday. But, back on topic. I'm sure there are yards somewhere in the KC area. But hard to find for some reason.

Yeah. Maybe because there’s a lot of possible locations and also because we rely on google satellite to find ‘em...

Keep on lookin’ and good luck getting equipment. Sidenote - what equipment do you have besides the 2 bells?

Also, reply in the “signals you own” topic please
