Oh, yeah, there is quite a lot of interesting signals there, too bad most of them aren't in use anymore

Those are cast-iron WRRS lights.
Older Conrail signals there! Also, never seen an S-85 gate mech with counterweight arms quite like this one:

It seems like that we post new finds (and sometimes already found stuff) from Kokomo, Indiana a lot! :Blink:

Here is some old 45 degree cross bucks on a abandoned MILW Branch. These are getting harder and harder to find...

Nice find! I wonder how long that line has been out of service. That crossing is in a very scenic area.
