A Retirement Home For Old Traffic Lights
After quite a while, The Deco (Big Green) is back running once again. It's been sitting in the basement for quite a while and got it hanging at Easter. Took 3 of us to do it since it's really heavy. This is probably my favorite signal of the ones I've got. Saw so many of... Continue Reading →
Easter was this past Sunday. Thankfully my son and son-in-law were both here. We were able to move the Crouse Hinds D (the yellow one far left) and put the monster Deco D (center picture) up and hanging finally. The Deco weighs well over 100 lbs. Took 3 of us to get it into position... Continue Reading →

I found out he purchased the light from an antique dealer in 1990 and has held onto it ever since. Tokheim signals were produced from 1926 onward. In 1938 this division... Continue Reading →

This signal also popped up on Ebay and I just knew I had to have it. More than likely from the 1940's. A W.S. Darley D 200 12 bulb signal. Original price in 1944 was $99.95 but I paid a little more than that. It came from Georgia and I know nothing about it's history,... Continue Reading →
