D41: Urbana Semaphore

An NYC semaphore serving as a distant signal sits ahead of the IC-NS interlocking in Urbana. This is one of the only semaphore signals left in Illinois, albeit in a fixed position. Despite being a fixed approach signal, it appears to be mostly intact and is only missing it's green and red lenses. Seeing only a couple trains a week, its hard to nab anything going past it but the stars aligned, heads ups were given, and the old NW workhorse was captured making a daylight appearance which is an impressive feat for D41 in and of itself.
