Going off topic a bit... what the heck is a krush bar?

Not technically a restaurant, but I'm sure they serve some sort of food:

These appear to be Griswolds!

https://www.google.com/maps/@43.9380764 ... 6656?hl=en

And yes... they are operational!

I wonder if they came from the crossing near the bar... as it used to have Griswold signals?

That could very well be possible, or else they would have wound up in the dumpster if they weren't taken.

I personally don't know. The Griswolds in the picture are the rotating stop sign ones, which typically used the Type A lights. It's possible some of the side lights were Type Bs, but it only appears to be one pair, unless the signal with three pairs of lights used all Type B lights.

The signals on the left in the photo appear to be Type-Bs.. at least that's how I see them considering how far they're sticking out from the signal.
