Western Railroad Discussion > Signal Bridge Staging at Soda Springs, CADate: 05/22/20 19:47 Signal Bridge Staging at Soda Springs, CA Author: broken_link When I rolled past the Soda Springs grade crossing this afternoon, I noticed that there were new signal bridge sections with signal masts and heads staged along the right-of-way. While I'm not certain where they're planning on installing it, if I were to guess I'd say the classic signal bridge and searchlights at West Norden aren't long for this world.

The loss of the old SP signal bridge at the West end of the Norden shed is indeed a sad one. SR Posted from iPhone Date: 05/23/20 01:59 Re: Signal Bridge Staging at Soda Springs, CA Author: PHall BoilingMan Wrote:

Since the UPRR took over The Hill they've slowly made changes over the years. Many signals have been relocated in the process- there was a WB searchlight near my house I enjoyed seeing. Gone missing several years ago. SR |
