Kenova District (signals)

[NW Mailing List]

Yeah, 
 
Part of it was in my garage and "Management" mentioned it from time to  
time... LOL
 
I moved it into the building a few weeks ago so it is safe Ken.
 
Thanks,

As Larry said, it is almost impossible to get from the  railroad. You  
also need to remember, that when the railroad takes  these things  
down, it is rarely, if ever, with care, most are  damaged, broken or  
beaten up badly, they are generally dumped into  scrap gondolas, and  
pulled out with a magnet and dumped in a pile.  These things are also  
much larger, and heavier than you might think.  A full head alone  
weighs in at about 400 pounds, a full pole, I  don't know for sure. My  
signal pole is still laying across a baggage  wagon in the backyard,  
because it is too heavy to handle and put up  without a crane. The  
signal remains in pieces stored in the garage  and storage building,  
this is at least 12 years after I got  them!

Good luck,
Ken Miller
