I think we have a pretty good idea of what this one will be:
https://maps.google.com/?ll=39.457804,- ... -0.32&z=20

Incoming:
https://maps.google.com/?ll=39.306869,- ... -0.82&z=21

Never seen pedestrian signals used as tram signals before. Nor have I seen them hung from a spanwire before.

Hello:
https://maps.google.com/?ll=39.303912,- ... ,2.28&z=20

Another one:
https://maps.google.com/?ll=39.304136,- ... -0.45&z=20

Ohai:

I think we've hit a gold mine.
They/Them for me, please.

They're used as signals. They've been built into traffic lights. I'm used to them in Camden, NJ, Riverline Light Rail and yes Light Rail. But wait light rail is electric. Not this one. It's a diesel light rail line :Blink: Mind blown:
