Placerville, CA Branch signals

Post by bnsfc44 »

With the update to GSV, I was able to follow the former Southern Pacific branch to Placerville. On the old forum (I think) I had posted pics that showed a lot of signals sitting in a storage yard in Folsom. I had thought all the signals were removed. But following the line i found these:

Heading west from Placerville, this is in Kelsey:

That first one was weird, seeing the remains of two possibly former Griswold cantilevers with a bell still attached to each old cantilever mast.
