Glad to have seen the old Transport Products Corp. signal here still hanging on. The L&N did some weird stuff back in the day.

Wow!!! Those lights are old. I've never heard of that company. I also noticed that the gate mechanism is pretty close to the lights.

[@freebrickproductions]

Their equipment is rather rare. The gate mech appears to have been mounted either where the old Transport Products Corp. gate mech was, or just above where the old one had been.

[@lmsrail]

Oh ok.

[@erikdykeman547]

I will say I miss those wish-bone gates!

[@BNSFTrains10]

0:44 Those Lights are now replaced with newer WCH Lights

[@freebrickproductions]

I'm aware. It's a shame.

the Jackson Ave railroad crossing in Harlingen Texas back in 2007 it had on the left signal a Griswold gate mechanism and RACO or Safetran 8 inch lights and a WRRS mechanical bell

[@therailfanningskeleton359]

7y comment, but I recently found out that Mcallen has a signal installation company, which the local shortlines use, but I don't believe UP does.

I bet the gate mechanism was a Transport Products or Griswold.

[@freebrickproductions]

Most likely Transport Products Corp.

[@aidendodson5613]

the WCH signals do have WRRS brackets but not on the rear sadly

[@aidendodson5613]

what I mean about rear is the base

Who likes to be a old Railroad crossing finder?
