Tally up the old Tri-light signals on da GTW, I'll start
Port Huron:
16th Street, signal # 617 (west end of CN Strathoy Sub)..3 heads for westbounds
Amtrak Depot, 2 heads, governing GTW trains entering track 4 of the CN yard.
CN track 4, 3 heads, governing eastbounds bound for either the Amtrak depot, or Sarnia.
A(IIRC) 2 headed set governing trains, exiting the storage yard, entering track 1 for Sarnia.
A 2 headed set governing CSX trains entering Tappan, westbound.
Another 2 headed set governing trains entering Tappan, off the MtC.
Flint Sub:
Distand signal for West Tappan (Taylor Rd), single head in each direction
Emmett approach (Wales Center Rd), single(?) head in each direction
Breen Rd(west of Emmett), IIRC, there is still a tri-light for westbounds, 1 head (may be gone now)
Graham Rd (approach for Imlay City), single head in each direction, may be wrong on this one.
Attica(?), approach from Imlay City (eastbound), single head in both directions.
I belive there is another near Davison, single head, westbounds only.(May be wrong on that one too)
MtC Sub:
Kimball (Range Rd), 2 signal heads, only one is a "tri-light", though the other is fairly old as well IIRC. Also, one lense has been platted over (the green one I belive)..this is the Tappan approach signal.
Need you guyses input on this one, thanks!

On the Flint Sub in East Lansing, there are two 2-headed mast Tri-lights at Trowbridge, leftover from the double track ABS days. One is on the old westbound track (North Track, or Main #2) and the other is on the old Eastbound track (South track, or Main #1). The other two signals at Trowbridge are the newer Hood-type color lights.
There are at least two in Battle Creek, and maybe more. There are also several on the South Bend sub west of Battle Creek. There is a set in Marcellus I believe, and I know there are two in Schoolcraft: One at the diamonds with NS by the Cement place, and the other one is at 10th Street, west of town:
The Holly Subdivision between Pontiac and Millwaukee Jct. still has lots of the older US&S type Tri-lights in Service. Here's a picture I took of one while riding on Amtrak's Lake Cities last year:
There's also a few at Haven siding (New Haven) on the Mount Clemens sub. I'd post a picture of those ones, but it's showing up as an "X" in the gallery......
Those are all the ones I know.

Tri-Light Signals on GTW
Ran into this EB/WB pair on Saturday just east of Raubinger Road in Swartz Creek.
