More of the old Tennessee Central dismantled, in 2002 that track was still used if I remember correctly.

:Confused: I just don't understand why they leave the signals. The track is totally gone from that area, so why did they not remove the signals at the same time? It's a shame they just leave them there to rust and be vandalized. If they can't use the whole signal somewhere else, they could at least use a majority of the parts.

No "exempt" signs posted either. Sounds stupid, but a school bus would likely be legally forced to stop. It's a wonder the highway authority hasn't made it a point to take care of those too... wonder though, would they have belonged to the railroad or to the local highway authority???
Well, :Censored:
