Signal safari part 5

[NW Mailing List]

I was at Delorme last year.  We replaced the automatic signal at
Thacker, WV which was between the control points of Delorme and White.
 White is the east end of a middle track east of Matewan.  The signals
at Delorme and White are in awful shape.  Thacker was condemned and
was designated "Do Not Climb".  It was PL-3's, and they were
crumbling.

That one at the east end of Delorme is the only signal I've ever seen
that doubled for a crossing flasher.

If anybody's ever back in the area, there's a good burger joint just
down the road just past the Kentucky state line where we ate lunch!

I do kind of miss working on the Pokey.
