Western Railroad Discussion > Fifty plus years of shooting the signals at MottDate: 04/10/14 19:45 Fifty plus years of shooting the signals at Mott Author: photobob The first photo is the first one I took of the Mott Searchlights in 1961. The second was when the 9800's were new and the last an hour or so ago. The signals are just laying by the side of a dirt road next to the replacements. Somehow the signal shot at Mott just wont be same anymore.

as I find every time I try to get back up after kneeling down. That canyon area is a little different each time I see it and many visits make for much change. Such is life or so I'm told. I'm waxing philosophical today. Date: 04/11/14 11:51 Re: Fifty plus years of shooting the signals at Mott Author: WAF All goes to crap..
