Alabama 4-ways

Postby freebrickproductions on Mon May 06, 2013 9:47 am

I'm just going to make one big topic for them to keep from cluttering up this forum.

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.

Well, seeing as I can't drive yet, nor will I be able two for atleat two more years, it may be awhile.
  Unless I'm able to convince my parents to drive me out to these this summer... :scratch:  


EDIT: Found some in Athens, AL. These are the ones that I'll most likely be able to get pictures of:

Spoiler:
I think Huntsville donated a "few" of the old 4-ways we used to have to Athens. :grin:


Slightly off-topic; I'll see if I can get photos of these set-ups too:

I saw a picture of a Crouse-Hinds 4-way that was destroyed in the 2011 Cullman tornado. I was in Cullman in 1994, and I don't think I came across any of the 4-ways. Back then, I wasn't paying as much mind to signals as I used to as a kid, or as I do now.

I assume this is the picture you're talking about:
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=7426

It looks like Cullman had a four-way double beacon as well: :sad:
Image

The single-face traffic lights didn't make it as well either:

And here are some of the single-face traffic lights that are pictures in the third picture (the one that is the link):

There used to be a couple of CH 4ways on the main drag in Guntersville...remember seeing them when working on a project in Huntsville in the 80s...

Nice post. There are still plenty more out there. I know of some in Piedmont, Alabama City, Anniston, Oxford and even a few more in Birmingham.
