Frank.
The rightmost track goes to the new-at-the-time Cooper tunnel.  The other
two continue around the bend to Cooper and the Bluestone branch and up Mill
Creek to the old Elkhorn tunnel.

I anticipate these are the back sides of interlocking home signals and did not realize that some blades were painted red on the back while others were white.
