I like the pointy tops on the signal masts. The mileages seem a little crazy. That doesn’t look 0.1 of a mile between those 2 signals.

The pointy tops seems to indicate age of signal too – these are usually the older installations that have not been since replaced. Either way many of these disappeared, but the project seems to have stalled again
