That is a nice lineup with the right one leading.
I have never seen a crossing sign like the one on the road beside the 8239. Will that be a warning of the grade crossing where the 3087 is?
The american roads used concrete for most whistle posts, mileposts, and crossing signs (although I admit I have not seen any X crossing signs in my time photographing along american lines – in Canada)
There are lots of them still in place on the former CSX Sarnia sub between Blenheim and Sarnia. Lots as in a few dozen.. at least 40 concrete mileposts still in the ground and the funny thing is most date to when the line was built. They are not going anywhere
I gotcha, a whistle board with an X rather than a W. Makes sense too. It is on the wrong side of the road for auto traffic but on the engineers side for rail movements coming into Canada. Thanks Steve.
I have seen a few of the concrete mileposts on some of the photos posted here. You’re right, they will not be going anywhere soon.
Larry: Years ago I found a “Block” sign lying in a gully; wooden sign on concrete post and thought I should liberate it.
) Bloody thing weighed 115 lbs and I could barely get it in my station wagon.
Good enough reason why most signs stay where they are !!
Heh heh. You’re like me. Any sign lying in a ditch came home to hang in the garage.
What do you mean my garage looks like a sectionman’s shack? Isn’t that what garages are for?
Boy do these pics bring back memmories. Thanks I lived just up the street in the 40′s on Ellis Ave
