Owensri2 posted a video of the signals in action back in 2011. Check out the old CN logo on that GP40-2.

I wonder what happened to the other signal? The setup appears to be the same as it was in 2013 on Google Earth but I don't know when that image was taken.

Edit: The next crossing down it protected by these old traffic signal beacons! I have to wonder if they actually still work or not.

From what I've heard, it was knocked over by a car. Those GE beacons are awesome as well, and I remember stumbling across it once or twice on street view.

That was also a rather nice mostly-pure SAL install there before the one signal was knocked down.

I can tell you for sure one of the beacons needs fixing

Found this one in Ivyland, Pennsylvania.

I thought this was a catenary for a second.
