New Crossing Signals









These are on Greely Road in Cumberland.  We go past these almost every day.  I have hoped to see a train come by, but I have not timed it right.  They will be used when the Downeaster travels from Portland to Brunswick.  The route goes through Yarmouth Junction up to Freeport where there will be a new station.  The track has new rail and ballast and looks like it is ready to use.

 

Anyway what is different about these signals is that they also have a light for the trains as well as the traffic.  I am waiting to see what color the light for the train will be. I am not sure how the signal will work.  Also it looks like there is a place to put on a crossing gate arm.  If you know what it will be like, please leave a comment.
