Thanks for sharing the photos Ron.

The bridge signals are called Cantilevers by the signal folks.  The
metal structures that control them are referred to as House Cases.
Those orange pipes are directional bores, and aid greatly in running
lighting and power cable, and track wires under the tracks.

With all the work to the East End shops, is the old Hooter whistle
going to be leaving also?  I hope not.
