What brand are those junction boxes on span wire setups?
And anyone know a source for them or ones that look like them?

What Phil said...

We always called them "Disconnect Boxes". They certainly have their advantages, and we used them exclusively on all of our span wire-mounted signals. However they were a significant source of trouble calls, which is why many localities don't use them.

Yes. What Jerry's link shows. Little silver box tied to the span wire near the cluster

I'd imagine it's a generic 3R-style junction box, might want to get a pic and try an electrical supply house (just don't do it during rush hour!!).

I think they're generic junction boxes as well. Did a scan of Carrier and Gable and some hardware manufacturers we use (Pelco, etc) and couldn't find anything.

Thanks to all who replied.
I just went with a square waterproof box for home depot (grey type)
My Saginaw cluster is getting a new home in my workshop in Canton.
