I don't know why but something seems pretty cool having classic equipment like that on an electric line.freebrickproductions wrote:Yea, that was something the Reading liked to do, IIRC.Erik-Gorb-Hamilton wrote: US&S or GRS Dwarf signals being used for something pedestrian related

Re: Google Maps Scavenger Hunt
If that's a SEPTA line, then they have (or at least had) lots of old equipment in use on their network. I think they're in the process of upgrading their crossings to LED though.ToledoRailfan wrote:I don't know why but something seems pretty cool having classic equipment like that on an electric line.freebrickproductions wrote:Yea, that was something the Reading liked to do, IIRC.Erik-Gorb-Hamilton wrote: US&S or GRS Dwarf signals being used for something pedestrian related

Nice find! Always thought short older signals were cool along with older setups with the signals in the middle of the road.NathanFromEngland wrote:Signals on concrete bases!

The other signal has GRS Lex-c lights!

That town has a lot of cool old signals and setups.

New installation of an 8" cantilever in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec.

Preemption signals in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec, I don't think I've seen a Canadian crossing with them, although I don't think I've even seen preemption signals for a passive crossing in the U.S.
