Those look like some Eagle signals, i'd say they date from the late 50's-early 60's.

But sadly, as of July 2017 they have been retrofitted with LEDS.

Those appear to be Peek or TCT signals, and they aren't 4-way stops either. Those are 4-way clusters.

A 4-way stop is this:

Sometimes you may have a beacon (or a 4-way cluster of beacons) at a 4-way stop, but not always:

That's not a beacon either...

Again, as I said earlier, what you posted was a pair of 4-way clusters of standard signals.
They/Them for me, please.

Peek made cluster signals? I was never aware of this.

Some Microsense LED signals on The Isle of Man.

The way they protect streetlights from vehicular collisions is strange.

Well, all that a cluster is is just a set of two or more standard signals hung on one hanger with special hardware...

Some pretty interesting signals, but what i don't like is how the yellow and green is incandescent, while the red is LED.
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.5574614 ... 6656?hl=en

Here's an example.


Incorrect signal head.
