RAILROAD SIGNALS of the U.S.

B&O RAILROAD MUSEUM
Baltimore MD

The B&O Railroad Museum couldn't be in a better place for a museum that represents the birth of American Railroading.  They have pretty much recovered from the unfortunate incident of February 2003, where a heavy snowfall caused part of the original roundhouse roof to cave in, and destroyed a number of irreplaceable pieces.  The museum has decided to concentrate on mostly artifacts and trains of the B&O Railroad, having gotten rid of such great pieces like a Pennsy GG-1 and a South Shore "Little Joe".

They have a few signals, but noticeably missing from the pre-snowfall days, is a full dwarf CPL, which used to be on the outside wall of the roundhouse.  None of the signals in their collection are animated or controllable by visitors, a big disappointment for the signal fan.

Work in progress, more to come.
