Richard Burdick General the signals are not ATSF signals, but were installed by the CB&Q RR when CTC was installed on the Chicago to Aurora racetrack.Some of the signals on the line have been there since the 1940's and have served well over the years.It's a shame to see them go.Good job on the pic! 8/30/2011 2:11:12 PM
