RAILROAD SIGNALS of the U.S.
RELAY BOX
New Installation
On the CSX Main Line Between Baltimore and DC
Relay (St Denis) MD
All pictures taken on a beautifully clear day, Sunday 082805.
This is a new installation where signals did not exist before,
However, there is a CPL bridge further north (OK, east for the hardcore
railroaders), about 3/4 of a mile,
We'll have to see if it is coming down once this installation is complete.
Here are a few other things in the immediate area:
