Taken June 3, 2008, here's a WCH logo on his
aluminum gate.
|
Lots of stuff around the signal, because the
signal got a new aluminum mast and signal base on June 26, 2008. Also,
notice the gate lights are missing. The addition of a base will make
the signal a lot stronger, since winds of 90+ MPH are not out of the
question.

Not many changes, other than adding the gate
lights on June 27, 2008.

works with his searchlight signal.

clear LED gate lights, the 4 tracks sign back up, and a GS type 2
e-bell.

the SM mechanism.

The gate has been fully removed, and the
signal is gateless again.

We now see some time lapse shots of the
signals from startup to shutdown. Also, a Teardrop bell has been added,
as well as the 4 tracks sign being removed again due to "getting in the
way". It'll go back up again once a bracket can be acquired for the
sign.
