  • Awesome. Thanks for the upload.

  • @bariboy167 I cubbed under a guy who got written up by a tm for being 2 minutes late when reporting stopped at red. I think management hates it's workers.

  • Which line and where at? looks Like the signals at Wirtz. VA

  • Most rr,s base money you make on miles run, the runs that get OT after 8 hrs is the less than 100 mile runs, IE the locals, all the other runs are dollars paid per mile, No OT, So it stands to reason that crews on long milage runs hate to sit at stop signals for at times many hours & i am one of them, I am only talking class 1 rr,s,, most short line non-union rr ,s pay no OT at all on any rr job.

  • Clear Signal!  Now...Notch 8 lets go!

  • @paullubliner You'd have to ask someone who works in the signaling equipment repair and maintenance division of DB Netze. I personally don't know anyone there. When a line is rebuilt to include signaling equipment, everything e.g. signals, switch drives, interlocking equipment etc. are put into storage for use as spares, and this unfortunately means that getting anything is nigh impossible. And an electric-drive, tri-aspect distant semaphore signal? That's damn near what I'd call a last Mohican!

  • wahhh... stop signals are great for me... double red??? NO PROBLEM time to kick up the feet n relax specially with dumb dispatchers that have no business dispatching fruit flies let alone trains ;)

  • @iceman977 mine came from outside of Portmouth Ohio somewhere along hwy 52 I believe before Portsmouth if I remember right the one I have wasnt on a bridge like in this video but a cabinent mounted one on a 6 foot double US&S base

  • @gaycowboy31 Yeah. I wish I could get ahold of the ones on the Kenova line if they take it down.

  • @iceman977th yah thats cool I have heard them called both ways the one I have hear I just unloaded that thing is Huge its definatlly steam era the base is 6 foot tall and the pole another at least 10 t0 15 feet tall and the head at least 3 to 4 foot across round
