    I so love seeing these old pics Bill. Subjects are great, and I love checking out the old rolling stock like the C&O and the Rock Island Blue gons on that train… Keep’m coming….

    The semaphores control the interlocking & are operated from BX tower. The amazing thing is that connecting rods mechanically move the semaphore arms from the tower. The signal being displayed is red over yellow,a “restricting signal”.
