This trackage has been out of service for quite some time, but a few signals remain on this line.

There is a concrete base where a gate mast used to be next to the cantilever. You can also see where there is another signal if you spin around a bit.
I wounder what those poles with bells on them were for. Maybe old cantilever masts?
Edit: I think so, I can see where some lights used to be mounted in this screenshot I took:

That's just crazy that they would install new signals but not completely remove the old one's.

They are obviously ex Griswold Cantilevers.

I thought that they resembled griswalds.

I followed the trackage in one direction farther found where some signals used to stand:

In the other direction there are crossing that once had signals:

I think that this might have once been a wigwag:

There was a signal here:

There were signals at this crossing too:
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Placervi ... ,7.51&z=20

There were signals as evident by the bases that were left:
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Placervi ... 22.06&z=19
https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Placervi ... 18.41&z=19

Here is where what is left of the line ends:

Found what appears to be another section of the old SP line:

That is.. Bizarre.. The rail and turntable are there at least, preserved in time, for now..
