Looks like it was a restaurant of some kind. Like the signal with the Griswold lights though.

I hope they get rescued.

Didn't know they used hoppers.

Why are these lights separated from each other?

For some reason, this is Brewster, Florida. But GSV picks it up as Mulberry, Florida.

Looks like it's because they were originally aimed towards traffic coming around the curve:

Somebody must've hit the old signal here back in the day.

Its quite interesting to see a WABCO model 95 in Louisiana.
https://www.google.com/maps/@30.0099245 ... 328!8i1664
Its gone now.

I can't work out if this was a light for the relay case, or just a fan in which somebody has tried to block with wires.

Weird bell mounting.

Former base for a cantilever?

Yea, just inverted 2 tracks signs. Still cool to see though.

That was actually a WABCO AL-70.

That was actually a weather-head where the power for the relay case was connected through.

Of an older variety, I believe. For a long time, no-one could figure out who made those, but I suspect that they're WABCO (or at the very least US&S) as they've only been found on installs that feature WABCO equipment.

Just a 5 inch mast signal which has had an extension fitted onto it for some reason, though it appears that it was done to hook some power to that signal for some reason. Here's how it looked before:

An 8 inch Eagle Flat-back double beacon. I doubt it works though.

It did in 2008.

I didn't know this was getting removed.
