Yea, that was something the Reading liked to do, IIRC.

I don't know why but something seems pretty cool having classic equipment like that on an electric line.

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.

Nice find! Always thought short older signals were cool along with older setups with the signals in the middle of the road.

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.

The fact the crossing runs through a roundabout.
Vague descriptions don't help. :Roll:

Looks like Harmon cantilevers with custom welds!
