Post by UnionPacific4Life » Mon Dec 09, 2019 1:15 pm

Post links/pictures of signal dumps here. I know of one in Dupo, IL, St. Elmo, IL, Beaumont, CA, and thats it. Anyone can post a dump here.

Dupo, IL :https://www.google.com/maps/@38.5260888 ... 312!8i6656

GSV shows it in 2016, it’s filled up more.

St Elmo, IL: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.0273373 ... 328!8i1664

Bad pic, but there’s stuff there.

The one for my area is right by the CSX S-line in Plant City:
https://www.google.com/maps/@28.0172829 ... 312!8i6656

It used to not be fenced off, but I guess theft was becoming an issue for them. :sleep:

That’s cool. Since you’re in that area, do you by any chance know Danny Harmon?

Also, that’s a pretty small one.

Found another, this one’s a NS one in Granite City, IL

I believe this could count as a boneyard, as i recall back in 2016 i peeked over a fence and saw several wigwags that were dumped around the yard, didn't get a picture unfortunately but i might take a look when i get the chance.

There's a few in my area that I'm aware of, guess I'll need to see about posting them soon.
