Jeff:
 
Yes, my personal favorite was the Winston-Salem District northbound signal  
next to U.S. 220 between Boone's Mill and the Roanoke-Franklin County  
line.  I shed my own tear this fall when it was replaced.  Ah,  progress.

There are still alot of the CPL mast style installations in  active 
service.  With regards to the Blue Ridge area, everything between  Montvale and 
Roanoke remains untouched.  The only other  signals within the NS Virginia 
Division that have recently been replaced  is Narrows.  However I was told 
recently that both the Blue  RIdge and Christiansburg Districts are high on the 
list for signal replacement  in the very near future since the Heartland 
Corridor and the signal  upgrade on the Winston-Salem District have been 
completed.  Also expect  all of the signals in downtown Roanoke to be upgraded 
within the next 18  months.

I was in Appomattox last night too and couldn't  believe my eyes. GONE! 
This was probably one of the most accessible signals  of this type. I think the 
one at Liberty (East end of Forest) is still there  but not too accessible. 
The one west bound into Roanoke near Blue Ridge was  there Thanksgiving.
