Western Railroad Discussion > BNSF St Joseph Sub Searchlights?Date: 04/07/19 17:25 BNSF St Joseph Sub Searchlights? Author: CR6377 Hello all. Looking for some location close to Kansas City that have Searchlight signals at Interlockings on this line if that's possible and if there are any. Thanks all for the info. First time in 12 years being in the area.
Marc L Date: 04/08/19 08:59 Re: BNSF St Joseph Sub Searchlights? Author: wesleygreer There are still searchlights protecting the sidings at Waldron, East Leavenworth, Sadler (north of Weston), Armour (east of Atchison), and Halls, those would be the closest to KC. Best option would be south Armour, still has a searchlight on a signal bridge over the main track.

Marc L Date: 04/08/19 12:55 Re: BNSF St Joseph Sub Searchlights? Author: bn2310 That signal bridge is still one left from the CB&Q. It makes for a great photo with it in the background. I'd probably shoot it sooner than later, as many of the searchlights have been replace by the Vader hoods.

Marc L Date: 04/08/19 15:09 Re: BNSF St Joseph Sub Searchlights? Author: wesleygreer Traffic levels are heavy, it's gotta be one of the busiest single track lines in the US. At least 30 a day I'd estimate.
