Well that's one place to add an extra pair of lights :Confused:

Cantilevers with 8 inch lights :TUP2:

I'm 99% confident this section of the line is out of service, but these classic signals still stand. :TUP2:

I knew it was for that road, I was just pointing out the peculiar placement of the lights on the signal.

Appears he was just posting it here for the signals that just happened to be on an abandon line, I do that from time to time in this thread.

I guess they could fit in either thread, really. In any case, yeah, I was just sharing them here for the signals. I'm already aware of the "Tracks out of service" thread.

Kind of a cool crossing.
Looks like the crossbuck has been used as target practice!

Odd setup.

Interesting set-up:

Looks like one of the signals was installed here when the road was planned to be widened but the plan was never followed through on:

They/Them for me, please.

This pair of rear lights seems unnecessary.
