Anoher semaphore
Title:  Anoher semaphore
Description:  Train 557 rolls past the next signal west from Barton, this on also a semaphore. There were two here, but not directly across from each other, and getting that shot from the road was not possible, since the westbound signal was behind a building. The pre Dash 2 SD 40's were common on these trains.
