This signal has to be one of the oldest on this GLC line. Protective shields cover all four 8" lights. This signal also has a US&S teardrop bell. All four lights are also made by US&S.
By the looks of pictures 5 and 6, these 20" discs have been here a long time to have the paint peeling off.
There's no explaination why there are side single lights on these signals, but I assume it's to tell the train that signals are working. They light up in a clear color when lit. |

Here's the other signal. These lights look like they're newer, mostly because they don't have any shield protection. The lights are WRRS with a RACO mechanical bell. |

A side view of the signal without the 8" shields. These signals stay activated and don't time out when a train is parked at the depot as shown in picture 16. |
A look at the relay case. Looks a little narrow than most other relay cases look. |

I wish I could've seen this personally. The 1225 sits parked just feet from the crossing, keeping the signals and bells going for a very long time. I sure wish I had an audio clip of this crossing, including the teardrop shown in picture 23. |

Views of the other signal, and the 1225. You can see the sidelight is on in picture 29, but I wasn't told whether it flashes, or just stays on. Picture 31 shows just how close the locomotive is to the signal. I bet traffic had a fun time with these signals! |

As you can see in pictures 20-34, the 1225 is
always a big attention getter, attracting hundreds of people to ride it. |
