Question

we were told that the csx maintenance of way is working north from cincinnati on that line taking down every signal on that line and coming into deshler on the toledo subdivision and taking down the position light signals in deshler what i want to know is. is that true?

Answer 1

While I don't have confirmation, I believe it is true, ricky.  CSX has been working to replace all of the old C&O-style signals on the Cincinnati-Newport News main line over the last few years and I do know that they have likewise been removing B&O CPLs on various lines as well.  In any event, if you want photos, please get them as these historic signals won't be around much longer.

Answer 2

Yep, it seems to be the case with modern Railroads taking down older signals such as sempehores.
