Most informative! Most Atlantic Coastline Stations had semaphores on them. I saw evidences of these at Wauchula, Florida, Ft. Meade, Florida, and the old Sebring, Florida( now long gone) Stations.. I saw Photographs of it of the Avon Park, Florida Station( now The Avon Park Community Center). At one time,I seem to remember hearing of a grade signal near Kathleen, Florida.
You're right on the money, John. There was also one in Palmdale, FL (up until just a few years ago)! Sometimes I think I was born too late. I would've loved to have been born during the golden age of railroading! Hope all is well and thanks as always for the views and comments.
Somehow I feel that I was born the same way. Palmdale was part of the Lake Alfred/Haines City Line you started exploring, as was the sugar cane interested and spurs.
Thanks for sharing this interesting info from the 1926 ACL rulebook, Roli! You can also see that the ends of the blades and the matching stripes are different shapes depending on the type of signal (usually absolute=square, home automatic block=pointed, distant=fishtail). The color of the blade could also have a meaning. My impression is that each railroad had its own customized set of signal indications, and there wasn't much standarization. And as you noted, it looks like route signalling wasn't very developed yet either, at least on the ACL.
Those are very interesting points you bring up there my friend. Good stuff! I agree, route signaling in 1926 wasn't what it is today. Thanks as always for the views and comments, Andrew. Hope all is well.
LOL you almost made me spit out my Sprite! That is beautiful! I will surely work on something like that for a Tshirt design. Thanks again my friend. Hope all is well.
My main man, Eric! Yes sir, that voodoo chicken is going to change the world! Someone suggested a signal that shows when there is santeria ahead on tracks, I'm going to the lab to work on it! Hope all is well my friend. Thanks as always!
Hi Roly, interesting video. Until a few years ago UP (SP) used semaphores between El Paso and Alamogordo NM. Gone now replaced by the round signal with light in the middle. Thanks for posting. Checks in the Mail.
Semaphores lasted well into the late 1980s in Wisconsin on the C&NW. There was a location along Hwy 141 now I43 between Port Washington and Mequon straight as an arrow where on a clear night you could see 5 in a row. Nothing more fun than catching up to a train or anticipating one coming at you. Someday I'm going to go back to Wiscona where 3 lines came together and even though it was torn down almost 50 years ago I believe there are still pipes present for the interlocking signals. Ah the memories
WOW, 5 semaphores in a row at night! I'd love to see that. I don't think there's a place in the US where that can happen though. I like the way you think my friend. Thanks as always for the views and comments, Paul!
Good stuff, if I had to guess there's a mechanism on the siding signal that raises it and lowers it behind the "shield" that's in the drawing, like on the semaphore signals.. And thanks for including Leslie Nielsen! " I am serious. And don't call me Shirley" is still one one the greatest lines EVER!
Mike, just when l thought you couldn't get any cooler, l find out you're a huge Leslie Nielsen fan! Yes, that Airplane quote is one of the best ever. His first ever movie I watched was the original Naked Gun where he goes undercover as a baseball umpire to search all the players! The man is a legend. And you are correct about the signal apparatus, I just didn't want to make the video too long or boring. Hope all is well!
I remember seeing these signals back in the 60's and early 70's. The ones I remember seeing them on the Northern Pacific main line. They were usually one on each side of the track facing opposite direction. We always knew when a train was ahead that we could catch up to or one approaching. Very few left. The only one I know of in Florida is at the Gulf Coast RR in Parish.
Northern Pacific main line? I thought you grew up in the Palmetto, FL area? There was one in Miami up until the 1990s in front of the Miami Jai Alai. When Tri Rail bought the CSX line, it got the ax. Hope all is well and thanks as always, Tommy!
That awesome railrol I was born in 1995 I used to live in Mexico and I seen these types of signals in there there were awesome and plus I seen the old steam engines run in there
First video of the evening! If they were like the L&N there were lots of sidings and such. Back in the day there were needs for that sidings everywhere. There's this place close by where there was a siding going to an old decommissioned AFB. You can see where the railroad line was but hey you're the freaking Railroad Archeologist! It is sad to see these methods of moving materials disappear but if you think about it we've just gotten more efficient in our methods of transport. Great video, it reminds me of this book quest I went on a few years back. I had this image from a book I read as a child. Believe it or not I found the book I was looking for. A lot of signals looked familiar.
You had this image from a book as a child and you finally found it, wow! How did you go about doing so? Yes, a lot of signals look familiar. That is why as a conductor, one has to logically and deductively look at it and know what each aspect represents. Hope all is well, Mike. Thanks as always!
Amazing R i love this where Union Station is in St Louis Missouri there was a cantilevers of the old Semaphore's it was awesome and the signal Bridge is still there. Thanks again Mijo :-) BTW they were active up to late 1970's
There used to be a semaphore in Clare Michigan when I was a little kid at the Dimond between the Ann Arbor Railroad and Chessie System. There was also a crossing gate type arm that they would swing manually to block the line that was supposed to stop. The gate is still there but the semaphore is long gone. I'd love to know what became of it. I hope it's in someone collection and not a new Chevrolet. In April I saw some semaphores still in service in New Mexico. Speaking of old signals I used to watch trains as a kid along the Detroit & Mackinac Railroad that still used a wig wag at the crossing. I do believe that has been preserved somewhere.
Wow KC, you had an awesome childhood. You saw a semaphore and wig wag crossing! In my 39 years, I've yet to see a wig wag. Do you know where exactly it is. I only know of 1 in the USA, in California. Thanks as always for the views and comments!
@@railrol82 The active semaphores are along I25 in New Mexico. I saw them in April and photographed them. The wig wag used to be around Alger, MI but I believe it's preserved at the Henry Ford Museum but I'd have to research it more. I know it hasn't been in service for 20 years or so now.
A few corrections for you, Roly... 4:14 I don't think those lights are flashing. Flashing signals weren't really a thing in this era. I think the lines are simply to emphasize where to look on the graphic for the colored night aspect. Also notice that the Train Orders signals have four roundels. 5:25 That's purple. Purple was common back in the day on dwarf signals instead of Red to make them easier to distinguish from other background lights near the ground. 8:45 The "diverging" speed is just called Restricted speed. That would be the same as Slow speed today. The Slow speed would be what we call Restricting today!
I respectfully disagree with you on the last one. As I learned it in FEC, diverging always refers to a siding or spur. Thanks as always for the views and comments!
I know how the signal in the city I lived in work, but I don’t get how like a signal that has 2 lights in front like at the top and one at bottom. They tend to do that with 2 tracks zone too, I wonder how they work. I always hope a red signal is at the middle track, since that’s always a sign of a freight coming. That’s how the UP Harvard subdivision work for us. Nice teaching!
When I worked for FEC, they had their own set of signals which were different from CSX and UP. We had to memorize and learn them all and get 100% on that part of the test. Thanks as always for the views and comments!
Really cool history lesson my friend. I have yet to see any semaphores in Florida. Maybe someone will tell us where to find a working one in the comments. Great historical trackumentary my brother! Cheers, Danny
Funny you should mention that Danny, the only Semaphore I remember seeing in FL was located in Miami, next to the Jai Alai and was even vaguely seen in an episode of Miami Vice. Here's my video, if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/cfCaK_u4xnE/v-deo.html
The "Take Siding" Signal had a magnetic armature that was operated simular to a dissappearing banner wig wag. all they had to do is turn on the power and the sign would flip out of the shield below it...there used to be 2 of these one in plymouth wi and one i believe in elkhart lake wi they were removed a ling time ago when i was a kid but i remember them being there and being shown how they worked..the one in plymouth wi was near the old kraft cheese wharehouse which up the track a little ways the siding is still there and is still in use.
It looks like the sign for the "take siding" indicator can move and if a train was staying on the mainline it would be hidden behind that D shaped piece on the signal mast.
These semaphores and rules predate CTC, so everyone was running on train orders they'd pick up along the way. Those orders would tell them when and where to take siding rather than the signal giving the additional route information.
@@railrol82 I'd imagine that the take siding indicator was relatively rare and reserved for use in specific, somewhat unusual circumstances. In other words, I don't think there would be take siding indicators at each siding, because the crews already had their authority from the dispatcher and knew what to do. Just a hunch, though.
In the US, probably not. I know the UK and Germany still have some semaphore signalled lines. There was the Raton Pass in AZ but iirc they took the semaphores down after 2015. Around me (Cleveland), Berea yard used to have a couple semaphores in service until 03-05. Part of the LTV/ArcelorMittal/Cleveland Cliffs mill had a tilting target (special semaphore for diamonds). They knocked down that part of the mill in the mid-late 00s and turned it into Steelyard Commons. Unfortunately the signal wasn't part of the preserved steel mill/historical elements.
Kenshin, you just broke my heart. In my to do list, I always had the Raton Pass in AZ to film with the semaphores. Do you know if there are any in the US still left, even if they're not functioning?
@@railrol82 This may help: Semaphore signals have been almost completely replaced by light signals in North America, but they contain several important design elements.
