Amazing finds! I wonder if they left those crossbucks there on purpose?

Did some more searching around that area

Check out these old Griswold Signals!

Some more old signals, one of these signals even has a Safetran Type 3 bell!

Strange place for a signal, looks vintage though.

Those cantilevers look more like US&S ones based on the lights. US&S and Griswold did make very similar cantilever designs though.

That doesn't appear to be a Safetran Type 3 bell, though. It's probably just part of the mast, or some sort of bell we've never seen.

That signal might be there because of this: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.2673202 ... yjDqfw!2e0

If you notice, the utility pole blocks the lights that are attached to the gate mast.

Also go back a little farther: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.267482, ... qyz8Gw!2e0

The building right there clearly blocks the approach towards the tracks.

This is why this line has old signals and old crossbucks. http://www.mhrailroad.com/

Conrail caboose!

Not everyday you see the overhead lights on a cantilever mounted underneath the cantilever arm:

Why is this gate here?
