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.

That is.. Bizarre..

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