These lights,why like this?

Shame on KCS for this nasty light setup. Although this is a old install, probably Circa 90s, 80s,

It could be installed like that because of a possible obstruction, had the lights been mounted normally.

Where are these? It looks like it's underneath an overpass, so that may have been a factor.
They/Them for me, please.

Took it at Dallas north Tollway/Plano Pkwy intersection in Plano, TX.

And yes, there is a bridge for the PGBT exit. But it does not obstruct the signal whatsoever. It was just installed like that.
Useless setup. :Angry:

They have been like that always from what I know. Although the area is receiving new Sig installs. So maybe this crossing will be impacted too. :cool:

There could've been a sign in front of it for a while after it was installed, but was removed a little while later.
They/Them for me, please.

They probably just used the parts that they had.

Wow that's odd, Sorry for the topic change, but those where only intended for LAX-JFK and back, I guess AA/AWE has planned new A321T routes. Hopefully MIA-LAX will come alive! :Grin:
