Fort Wayne Line MP 2 |
Description: |
The PRR Bridge that was on Federal Street. It was taken down long before PTC was a thing, however a brand new signal was built in nearly the same spot. The Train bridge itself was replaced not too long ago as well. There was also a station here at one point, but sadly It was a victim of The Pittsburgh Renaissance somewhere between the 1940s and the 1960s |

NYC Signals in Sewickley |
Description: |
Though not the greatest Picture(dusk camera phone shot), it was the only one I got of these which were installed by Conrail(Or maybe Penn Central) at some point. According to my friend, they are New York Central in origin and were leftover from when the mergers happened there ended up being "Spare Parts" from all the Predecessor Railroads. |
