I'll add a few. First is the signal bridge at Whiting, Indiana. Next two aren't on former PRR tracks, but on the NS Marion Branch. NS 19K heading south at Milford Junction and 142 heading north a few miles to the south.

And here's Summerhill yesterday on a cold, crisp, and clear fall morning.

And NS 4079 leads an eastbound stacker past the 286 signals between Seward and New Florence yesterday afternoon.

Signal at Newport, PA with Amtrak #43 "The Pennsylvanian", back in May of this year.

Middle Division E/B Pensylvanian past MP 124  8/28/16

---

Westbound at Portage, PA on 9/27/17.

I think this one's a goner, if not already at Newport, Pennsylvania.

Love the hardware! Even with interlopers from the west...

All three are gone. Whiting was upgraded when NS rebuilt interlockings and added track between certain interlockings a couple of years ago. The NS Marion Branch lost their PRR signals last year (except a few, including a PRR dwarf, in Marion Indiana). The PRR signals on the CFER in near Wabash were also lost when the Marion Branch was resignalled in 2017.

Top: The still active PRR dwarf guarding CP79 on the tracks entering from the west (eastbound from Marion's Goodman Yard).
Bottom: 14S after the September 2017 replacement ... the old signal is in the lower right corner on the ground.

Westbound in Marion Indiana --- PRR on former PRR.

Conrail's ML440 gets a shove.
September, 1994.

Out of all the ex-PRR position light signals I've ever seen, the one over the Westbound mains at Gallitzin, Pa. is the most unique. With it's two different size legs, I doubt it was ever duplicated.

One can only imagine a group of PRR track engineers wanting a signal here and always wondered why the PRR just didn't level off the area.
They probably stared at the rock outcropping and said "to hell with you."
Then they calculated the measurements of the signal bridge and had it made and installed.

Just classic Pennsylvania Railroad.

Thanks for showing all the nice old signals still active and sadly the dead ones on the ground. You caught some NICE looking trains also.

The PRR signals at Fostoria, PA, a bit east of Altoona in May 2018.

Great thread! 

Here are three in Pittsburgh:

1) Signal Bridge along Brighton Road Bridge over the NS Fort Wayne Line in the North Side (Aug 17 2014).

2) Signal along the NS Pittsburgh Line near 21 St Street & Liberty Avenue east of the Amtrak Station (April 20, 2014)

3) Signal at CP Solomon near 25th Street & Liberty Avenue (September 9, 2018).

Here's one I had handy - I have spent a lot of time on the Mountain.

NS Train 648 power, coming onto Main 1 at Portage, PA, after delivering hoppers to the Sonman Mine in August 2005.
