Great photos...a little depressing though that so much has changed in so short a time.

What has changed, besides the IMC line being torn up.

Yes, that. The semaphores coming down too, and knowing I just missed seeing them.

Some marvellous shots of the B&O semaphores there!  Does that PRR bridge over the former THI&E RoW still exist in Lebanon?
Cheers, Al

Excellent.  I've also viewed that video a few times as well covering the B&O semaphores.  Arlington is Shaneman's home turf so he'll probably enjoy these pictures although since the blades fell in mid 2000 I doubt he ever got to see them.

I am sure it does, since it supports the I&F branch, which CSX still uses.

I have shots of them taking down the blades, unless you all are going to start crying.

Singing the pictures of the semaphores and then walking to where they actually were is just heartbreaking. Being a young man that never actually got to see them was a killer. I barely remember the semaphores at Spencer St. in Rushville. I still remember the old siding/spur for the old elevator and I remember when it disappeared.

I always enjoy going back to these videos and pictures and seeing what once was here.
