The size of it compared to the electronic controller:

Those are usually splice boxes. Very common around here. I've seen them used as flasher cabinets on older beacon installs.

That looks too small to house an electro-mechanical signal controller in my opinion. That'd probably house an ordinary flasher.

Anyway, I agree with what Joe mentioned. Rare here in New Jersey (where I am). I only know one set-up in Toms River, New Jersey that has an original EF-20 cabinet from Eagle still in use. A computerized signal controller cabinet is attached to it.

Ok, thanks!

You know, it looks like a public school in the background...which makes me think this might be a switch box intended for a school crossing guard to turn on flashers or something....

I second that opinion. Probably a switch inside the locked box so all the kids can't get to it.

...and you can key the switch box with a different lock than the cabinet

I'd vote for that, except for the even smaller (unlocked!) padlocked box behind it. THAT one looks like a more likely candidate for a school-crossing 'off/on' switch, to me...? :scratch:

I can't tell, but it looks like the Eagle box doesn't have a functional lock... maybe its been abandoned.

Man, you werent kidding when you said Huntsville had bad drivers :crazy:

Then perhaps that is true for this Eagle cabinet in my town. It's next to an elementary school, and there are school flashers present in the immediate area.
