I stumbled upon this disused crosswalk signal in Davenport, Iowa last summer and it kind of got me to wondering, how many abandoned signals have you seen?

Up where I am there is very little abandoned traffic signals, but I know of several abandoned railroad crossing signals that continue to stand over tracks that haven't seen a train in years. In fact, the line dead ends in town.

I know this is the umpteenth time I've posted this, but this set up is still there at the intersection of 7th and Upland Streets in Chester, PA...
