After seeing this place I really want to visit!
I wouldn't quite call those classic, since they look to only be from about the 1980s or maybe even 1990s.ToledoRailfan wrote: Classic signals!
Those are some poly Safetran signals (yes, they made traffic lights too!), most likely from the 1980s. Could also be some poly ICC signal from around the same time (ICC and Safetran used the same molds, except for the logos). Safetran still makes traffic light controllers as well:ZachL wrote:I wouldn't quite call those classic, since they look to only be from about the 1980s or maybe even 1990s.ToledoRailfan wrote: Classic signals!

I believe Huntsville has several of them in service as well.
They used both! The ones you linked to were their aluminum molds. ICC also produced both designs as well.ZachL wrote:I had always thought these were Safetran's signal molds here:freebrickproductions wrote:Those are some poly Safetran signals (yes, they made traffic lights too!), most likely from the 1980s.

Was I wrong?
I see! Are ICC and Safetran linked in any way then?freebrickproductions wrote:They used both! The ones you linked to were their aluminum molds.

I honestly don't know. I think ICC may have taken over Safetran's signal line, but they may have also been produced together (with Safetran probably just getting rebranded ICCs as a way of saving money).ZachL wrote:I see!

Also, FWIW, those poly molds linked by Seth above also look a lot like McCain signals, too. Good thing I didn't identify them as such, then.
Well, if 3M can make traffic signals, then I guess Singer can as well.freebrickproductions wrote:I personally think the poly signals look more like Singer (yes, that Singer) signals, as they are both deeper than McCain signals.
