The "hooded" signals between Jessamine and Bishop are now active. They went online this morning.

Looks like they moved that signal down south quite a tad.  That used to be the 87.6/87.7 didn't it?  What's the word on the signals at the 89.X and 91.X?  I've seen pictures from there from a few years ago and it looked like the signals were practically new.

The 87.7/87.6, 89.6/89.5, 91.6/91.5 & 93.5/93.4 all were removed two days after the new signals were activated.

Here is a photo of three of the "retired" signals as they are "resting in pieces" recently at Brannon:



Another new feature to the tricolors is at MP 88.5 & 90.9; each have dual color signals below the tricolors, for "advance approach" traffic southbound (lense colors are red and yellow).
