Here's another one.

Also following a line to the south west, here's an interesting reuse of cantilevers:

And this one:

Who would think that when someone brings up a topic about signals and/or a line and include a map, that we could find such gems.

I lived in St. Petersburg from 1980 to 1985 while I was stationed at MacDill Air Force Base over in Tampa. These lines were active then.

The signals on that crosswalk look like they came from the UK. A very nice way to reuse the cantilevers, if only they had a bell.

Do you remember the signals on the track heading east to the pier south of the famous St. Petersburg Pier? (Probably was this track pictured above which ends in two blocks.)

The crossing signals, I recall, had a white light on a metal pole extending high up from the crossing signal mast.
They could also be operated manually because I turned a pair of signals on by pulling out a wood knob.

Thank you.
