"Raise flanger" signs were very common in the snow regions of CR. I believe other railroads have variations of this sign as well. CG Date: 12/09/04 08:50 Re: what is it where is it?

The photo may be decieving, but it looks like short notice to get the flanger up in time! Also wondering why a lubricator on tangent? Or is this the beginning of a curve behind the photographer?
