Bob Date: 04/14/25 05:20 Re: SP Signal Sunday Author: atsfer Nice shots of taking care of a true icon and antique when it was still in use...thanks for posting. Somewhere I have a very blurry photo taken at about the angle of your last photo...I was standing under the semaphore taking a picture when the mechanism activated and the arm dropped causing me to jump in surprise at the same time I tripped the shutter.

Date: 04/14/25 08:23 Re: SP Signal Sunday Author: SP4360 Replacing a cracked original flat lens. Nobody really shot up signals on that line. It was too far off the highway, they were more interested in shooting road signs on the fly.

It also shows just how large those signals were.

A friend of mine and I scored a pair of some of the last ones off the Northern Pacific in Idaho. They're 111 years old and still in working order.
