BNSF Cuba Sub Crossing Upgrades

Post by JosephTrains » Tue Dec 08, 2020 10:51 pm

The BNSF Cuba Sub from Springfield, Mo - St. Louis, Mo is well known for its vintage incandescent crossings and old equipment being that it is Ex: Frisco, & BN. I was told by a reliable source that MoDot is pushing for the line to get LED upgrades for the whole line and an additional GS type 3 for bell-less signals. This is a big loss as there are not very many incandescent crossings left in Missouri other than NS. This will indeed by a big loss.

Yeah, I heard this as well from a local guy.
Proud owner of a Safetran 3rd Gen M-Bell, a GS Type 2 bell, a dead GS type 1 bell, a WRRS M-bell, and a US&S H-2 searchlight signal.
Why does everyone copy my signature?

OG signal collection signature, I think. :LOL2:
