Signals at Jugneck

[NW Mailing List]

All,
I just wanted to let you know that yesterday at about 12 noon, the old Color Position Light Signals at Jugneck (or Ole 27) were taken out of service and a new Colorlight Cantilever signal replaced the two bracket signals that were there.  
 
However, all is not lost, as the signal heads were orded to be salvaged for parts.  They are being given to the local signal maintainer so he can store them.  It will be many more years before all the old CPL's get replaced, and they are being replaced in order from worst to best.  Parts are very scarce, so they are now being salvaged when possible, and these heads were in pretty good shape.  It was the brackets themselves that were in poor condition.  But, considering that these brackets have been in service since the semaphore days, that's a pretty good lifespan.
