Abandoned Controllers

Postby signal-in-the-box on Mon Aug 12, 2013 6:47 pm

Hey guys,
here are a few abandoned signal controllers in Charlottesville.

Note: I always take way too many pictures. If you would like more, the set is here.

1
Marbelite mechanical controller
Used to control single LFE beacon

2
Crouse-Hinds mechanical controller
Used to (and might still) control 2 CH-R flashers. This is the only green signal/controller in Charlottesville.

3
Crouse-Hinds mechanical controller
Used to control what is now 4-way NAI beacons
Image Image Image Image Image Image


4
Eagle mechanical controller (or just the box?)
Don't know what it is/was used for, there are no signals nearby.

5
LFE electric controller
Used to control intersection of Emmet St & Massie Rd
Image Image Image Image Image Image


6
LFE electric controller
Used to control intersection of Emmet St & Wise St (most likely)
Image Image Image
Why is it so far away? It is between two intersections, one of which is in the background here. The one this more likely was used for is on the other side about 1/3 as far, but still not that close.

The Eagle probably ran a beacon long ago.

Agree, you can never take too many. In fact, there's not enough! :grin:

Found this yesterday, all alone on a telephone pole. Once connected to a controller.
