Mohawk Valley, Arizona
I vividly remember as a kid seeing this exact type of US&S signal all along the SP mainline that ran through my hometown. In the early 90s SP sold off it and a few other lines to the Southern California Regional Rail Authority which planned to operate Metrolink commuter trains on them. It wasn’t long before they were all replaced in favor of a more modern signaling system. Fast forward to early 2017 when a good friend gave me the heads up there were still many in operation along the Sunset Route in Arizona. I made my fair share of trips to document as many as I could, but for some reason this is the only photo I got that seems to capture the same way I remember them as a kid without the wooden poles and relay antennas all the remaining few seen to have.
