Searchlights at Tower 71
These searchlights once protected the interlocking at Tower 71 on the West Belt in north Houston. When they were installed this was a crossing of the Houston Belt & Terminal by SP's Rabbit Line, though at this point it was all owned by UP.
Construction in the distance and to the right is foreboding for these old signals; they'd be removed in less than a year.
