A Retirement Home For Old Traffic Lights
It's been way too long. I'm working on a lot of updates to the website. Gotten some new stuff over the past year. Yeah, I know, A YEAR. A few previews of some of my acquisitions:Some of the highlights are A Crouse Hinds Art Deco 3 Way Signal A GE Beacon. My 1st beacon! A... Continue Reading →
Been quite a while since I last updated this site. Hopefully 2022 eventually get's better. 2021 sure was another crappy year for my signal collecting efforts. The pandemic is still taking its toll on my business. Got better toward the end of 2021, but who the heck knows what will happen. Anyway, my signal collecting... Continue Reading →
Hello 2021. Been a long time in between posts. With the pandemic affecting my business, signal hording has come to a screeching halt. A couple things here and there, but for the most part, I'm not even looking for anything. Sucks but what can I do. Anyway............. A couple of wild Utica Snow Emergency Lights...

I picked up another Crouse Hinds PCN-100 Traffic Signal Controller a month or so back. Here it is having it's first hug in a long time. This is another from Utica New York. My favorite place to get them from as you probably already know. There were upwards of 50 of these on the streets... Continue Reading →
In early August I had some fellow signal enthusiasts up for a visit and we cruised around town staring up in the sky looking at traffic lights. This is part 2 of what we saw in Utica, New York. There is a lot of cool signals still around. They're cool if you're a fan of... Continue Reading →
I've always had a thing for anything from Utica, NY from it's golden age. Utica was once one of the top 10 populous cities in New York and a great hub for transportation since it was in the center of New York State. So with a city having a large population, comes the need for... Continue Reading →
With all the pandemonium going on with the Coronavirus making it's way around the country & world, I did a small update. The 4 signals that were upstairs are now down with the rest of the crew. Moving them down a set of stairs is always challenging doing it alone, and luckily, I haven't dropped... Continue Reading →
Is this really my first post of 2020? Guess so. Must be a while since anything founds it's way to the signal retirement home. So I guess January will be filled with pedestrian signals. Thats ok with me. They aren't as big, heavy and bulky as the 4 way signals I'm used to getting the... Continue Reading →
Guess what. It's not a traffic light for once. It's a Crouse Hinds Plate instead. No idea what this was from. I've asked around and heard a few suggestions. It's an engraved brass plate (engraved huh?) that is 3" x 6". I would assume it was mounted to some kind of box, probably a shipping... Continue Reading →
Had some fellow signal collectors up. We went on the hunt for cool signals and any other old stuff we could find. Was a really good time! Just a start. I'll be adding more soon. Downtown Utica, NY.These beautiful old buildings will soon be bulldozed in the name of "progress" (it's a joke) to build... Continue Reading →
