Siemens signals in Australia

Postby That Aldridge Guy on Tue Oct 09, 2012 5:11 am

South Australia not only had Aldridge brand signals, but few other brands including Siemens!
Siemens signals were installed at some intersections in the late 1980s & early 1990s.
In the early 2000s however, many were replaced with LED signals and only a trace amount of them still exist.

Here are a few examples:
Milne Rd West/Golden Grove Rd intersection, Modbury Heights (since upgraded to LED recently).

Edward St/Winston Ave intersection, Daw Park.

That's all for now! :grin:

The amber/yellow lens looks like it could have come out of an American signal!

The top and bottom circular shaped bracket points look quite European, along with the spider lenses.

I think Siemens will take over the world at some point! :lol:
