Lexington, VA

Postby signal-in-the-box on Sat Dec 07, 2013 11:38 am

Lexington, VA is a small town with around 12 signalized intersections. The best thing about them is that all of the signals are incandescent, even the new ones! They are mostly 8", which includes some 8" 5-sections. All of the downtown intersections have two signals post-mounted on each on corner. The oldest are Marbelites, and the newest are Chapel Hill. There are some Alusigs and more mixed in, along with (my favorite) a pair of 12-8-8 CH type Ms.
On the same page are signals in Buena Vista, which is near Lexington (across I-81)

This, along with Danville, are the first finished pages on my website. The pages I still have to make in the Virginia Signals section are Martinsville and Roanoke; in the US Signals section, Ocean City, MD and Las Vegas, NV; and then the entire C'ville Signals section. Anyway, there is a lot to still do, but this is the start.
Feel free to give feedback on it so far.
I use it in Google Chrome. Internet Explorer takes longer to load and doesn't work as well.
Note for the photo galleries: There is a large pane on the left and thumbnails to the right. Clicking on a thumbnail will show it in the large pane. Clicking the arrows will also scroll through them. Clicking on the image in the large pane will open it in a new tab for larger viewing. You can also click the PLAY button and they will cycle through the pictures in the large pane.

HERE IS THE LINK TO THE PAGE: http://www.CvilleSignal.weebly.com/Lexington.html
(The home page is under the "Site" tab.)



All of the photos are also on Flickr, and all of the videos are on Youtube.

Looks like Cramer brown. My buddy works for them and everything Cramer buys gets a coat of brown paint. From there trucks to the tape measures the guys use, I think they even paint there pencils brown :scratch:
