Nostalgia & History > Signal Sunday - SP & BN Searchlights, 2007Date: 09/13/20 00:00 Signal Sunday - SP & BN Searchlights, 2007 Author: Rainier_Rails A "Signal Sunday" look back to when the classic searchlights were still common across the Pacific Northwest, all photos taken August 18th, 2007, from the rearmost window of the northbound #14 "Coast Starlight".
1) 9:57 AM: SP-era searchlights at Chiloquin, OR (and yes, that is a rotary snowplow down at the end of the leftmost siding). 2 & 3) 6:04 PM: Now moving on to Vancouver, WA, with the NP/BN-era searchlights protecting the main draw (Bridge 9.6) over the Columbia River.

4) 6:06 PM: And Vancouver Center was all-searchlights as well... 5) 6:07 PM: Including a classic NP-style cantilever. 6) 6:10 PM: But some control points such as Fruit Valley were already sporting the new "Darth Vader" Safetrans.
