  • You should have asked them if you could get a piece from that! That would be a very cool if you got one of the signal lights!

  • There was a signal bridge of similar construction in Louisville that was taken down last year. It stood a mile north of Osborn Yard, known as FX Tower. CSX put in a new bridge with the darth vader signals about a 100yds south, then removed the old bridge not long after. I figure it must have been there since the 20s or 30s. Since it was L&N country, they used the searchlight signals.

  • I have a few CPL's and parts from around Ohio, had to reassemble and clean/rewire them from the scrappers, I have one working so far, need more parts lol.

  • ive heard about the B&o cpls in deshler ohio coming down but does anybody have any idea where the csx is at currently with this

  • well try the old cpls in deshler ohio theyre coming down

  • Ugh, that's painful..but...

    I got mine and they're got a good home.

  • Thats depressing...I've seen those signals since I was born...Would detour that way just to look at em...Hate to think how long it will be before HX Tower comes down.

  • Its Lansdowne hon

  • That's a sad sight. I hope that I can mannage to get one of these old CPL's as well. In the video I can tell that they lowered the old CPL's with some dignity. Down here on the old C&O they cut the bases and let them fall to the ground. The B&O may be slowly dissapearing, but the C&O is fading faster.

  • NO!!!!!!! Please take down on floor right now! I would love old B&O Singals!!!!!!!!
