Two archetypes of a bygone railroad era. DR Tower and a Type U signal at Deshler, Ohio.

KC Jct., Covington, Kentucky. This signal was one of what was likely the last large scale CPL installations. Notice the extra long sun shades.

The former B&O line across southern Indiana is still largely CPL equipped. Here we see the eastbound signal at the east end of
the Butlerville passing siding.

Not often are the back sides of signals photographed. Here is an example at Leipsic, Ohio.
Along the Indiana Subdivision. Notice that these signals are on one mast, a result of a 1985 rule change allowing railroads to place signals on either side of the track.

Another signal on the Indiana Subdivision.
