Hooded signals

November 24, 2005

Hello, Ben:

Does the new hooded signal face directly east or west,
so the sun shines directly on the lenses?  If so, that
may be a reason for installing the hood.  Other signal
locations without that direct sun exposure don't need
the hoods.

Happy Thanksgiving all, and...


                Best wishes,
