Some signal foundations at the crossing. The ones in Picture 29 appear to have been meant for a replacement cantilever for the signal with the bell, but for some reason, it was never installed. Picture 30 appears to be from the older Safetran cantilever that was replaced with the newer one a few years ago. |
