An unusual track sign.
|
All 8" lights are RACO incandescents.
|
Track view including the relay case.
|
The track sign is a bit weird looking.
There was clearly no "S" at the end of "TRACKS", so the "TRACK" part is
off-centered. Also it looks like there used to be a "1" present before,
but now another "1" looked to be written with chalk replaces the old
"1".

Since all the emergency info is posted on the signals, there is no need for them on the relay cases.

Wide overview with more "DANGEROUS AREA" signs.
|
Before the "DANGEROUS AREA" signs came
around, there were STOP signs in their place. You would think these
signs would be around with a high amount of accidents, but the FRA is
reporting no accidents since 1975.
