CSX Halethorpe signal bridge comes down. CSX recently completed a now interlocking at St Dennis .. so the old B&O CPLs further east were no longer needed ..
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.

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.
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.
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!
