Leipsic Area Signal Work on the Toledo Sub

Unread post by heartlandguy »

CSX has begun a signal project in the Leipsic area on the Toledo Subdivision, and two sets of iconic B&O CPLs are slated for removal. New southbound Safetran masts are up at Leipsic Junction north of the diamond, while a new northbound cantilever base is in place on the other side. South of town, a new intermediate signal is in place at MP 153.5, the site of the last pair of CPL intermediates on the line. The interlockings at XN Tower (jct w/ the I&O) and North Leipsic have not been affected, and no other materials or other signs of signal work have been spotted elsewhere...

If you want your shots of the classic B&O cantilever at Leipsic Jct, or the intermediates at 153.5, get your shots now.

I'd be shooting any CPL in the area... It looked like there are at least 5 masts by the junction behind some containers. Could be wrong that's just what it looked like.
I'm just here to put in time claims and complain

Partially correct, the masts and bases were not signal masts but PTC antenna masts.
