Eastern Railroad Discussion > Alabama Fixed Semaphore questions.

In Montgomery, AL near the CSX crossing with Air Base RD.(@MP 177.) is the fixed semaphore still there and is it illuminated?

In Taladaga, AL on the NS alongside Pulliam RD @MP 84.5, is the semaphore still there?

I'd be grateful to know where other fixed semaphores are located.

Thanks and Be Well,

Tim Colbert K3HX

I&O has one at Leipsic for SB approching XN tower on CSX's Toledo Sub.

as of the last time i was in talladega,about a month ago,iirc,both fixed semaphores are still on the ns line,the one near the hwy 77 crossing is the easiest to get to,the other one requires driving around the local neighborhoods to find it,not hard but the wrong turn will have you going away from the tracks.

If Google Maps Streetview can be trusted, as of April 2014 the one in Montgomery was still there.

It is still there as of last summer. It is the approach to Bell Street Interlocking off the old WofA Selma branch.
You will also find what looked to be an order station or MofW shack made from an old wood boxcar a mile or so west of the semaphore.
