RACO 12 inch light locations

Post by Trainzmandude2012 » Sun Jul 12, 2020 11:44 pm

Something that's been on the back of my mind lately is this specific type of light made by RACO before Safetran took over productions of the same equipment into the 70s and 80s.
So far the only locations I am aware of these lights still in place is here in Willow Grove, PA on a SEPTA Line:

Other locations where they were more commonly found is on ex-SOU and ex-SCL lines.
One location I'm aware of is here in Timberville, VA on a former Southern line between Staunton and Front Royal:

I know some were used in California on SP, I saw them in a safety video from the 70s. Maybe they still exist in California.
Bells go "ding". Lights go "flash". And the WCH Gate Mechanism at Kirkwood Road goes "chigRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr".

Those are not RACO 12 inch lights. They may be RACO lights, but they aren't 12 inch, which is what this topic is asking for.
They/Them for me, please.
