The old B&O signal bridges (3 St. Denis-Relay-Landsdown) are now gone in favor of the (obv.) modern bridges that have taken their place. From what I did see it appears that they were not taking down gracefully. It looks like the Signal Tower might be the last original thing in the area next to Thomas Viaduct.... T
Sizemore I was there when they dropped the signals at Halethorpe. It was anything but graceful. They set the bridge down on the signals, smashing them up nicely. I would have liked to have one of them. Even the small ones are ruined. I have a series of pictures that I will be posting on railimages.com soon. I need to resize them.
Try a proggy called Irfanview, makes it really easy, it's what I use for all my images. If you need help let me know. T
Here are the picture posted on my flickr site. I went to paste them in but they were too large a file. When I used a smaller sized file, the pictures were way too small. You can see the care that CSX used in dropping the bridge down on the signals. What a shame. 1. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1010/908950786_167bc8d005_b.jpg 2. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1330/908950860_deb043b163_b.jpg 3. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1076/908950952_6343db3b8d_b.jpg 4. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1147/908951044_0da73c9afc_b.jpg 5. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1148/908951206_2b5c5909b6_b.jpg 6. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1059/908951292_7877a767dc_b.jpg 7. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1232/908179603_00b074dd06_b.jpg 8. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1122/908180123_f791f653fb_b.jpg 9. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1257/908180409_68e771d4c2_b.jpg 10. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1358/908181233_653fe302ff_b.jpg 11. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1066/908181345_0bf7e20401_b.jpg 12. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1131/908181421_2bd306e9fd_b.jpg
CSX is getting ready to drop the signals at Hancock, WV anytime now. They've been replacing signals on the old C&O down around St.Albans/Charleston/Huntington, WV area for a good while, too.
