The beginning of the end! A working semaphore stood next to the brand new trilight signal that soon was to replace it. |
 |
The time: fall 2002.
The place: railroad east of Wagon Mound, New Mexico. Note the new trilight signal lying on the ground and ready to be put in place at trackside. |

The sidetrack semaphore said
"stop."
The mainline semaphore said "caution." Something was about to happen. |
 |
Both westbound semaphore blades had dropped to "stop." An eastbound train was imminent. |
