Day trip to Athens, AL.

Postby freebrickproductions on Fri Jul 26, 2013 10:02 pm

Went out to Athens today. Saw plenty of 4-ways, about a half-dozen 12-8-8s, a few 8 inch signals, some 9 inch incandescent pedestrian signals, a few 16-inch incandescent pedestrian signals, plenty of Durasigs (both 8 and 12 inch), three mechanical controllers, and a 3-way traffic light. Most of Athens traffic lights are still incandescent. :grin:

I took so many pictures, I'm not even going to bother to sort them all. Videos to come soon. Feel free to identify the different types of 4-way signals. Some of the photos are from Madison and Huntsville as well.

Sorry about the long post that takes years to scroll though. ;)
I am a railfan, signalfan, and I'm interested in tornado sirens. I hope to learn new things about traffic lights because I'm interested in them and don't know much about them.

Excellent pictures, looking at them is really neat! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I didn't know TSI made ped sigs, but they look really odd.

Thanks for sharing! Love those 4-ways. If you ever get to Decatur, go to corner of prospect and magnolia. There is an Eagle 3-way in front of Decatur High School that has been there well before I graduated there in 75'. I would love to get my hands on it.

:drool: :cool: Those are fantastic pictures. This is signal fanning at its best! There are some real treasures in Athens. Thank you so much for sharing.
