Today (5/11/14) the Southern Searchlights around Danville fell in favor of the PTC signals... It was a sad watching the old signals fall... And I'm not looking forward to seeing the PTC signals around my area.. I went out today to pay my respects to the fallen searchlight signals and watch them for one last time.. If you want to check out the rest of the pictures, check out my Flickr... https://www.flickr.com/photos/46459752@N08/
