From the sign:
"Trees with unusual shapes were often used by Indians as landmarks to identify important trails. This 300 year old Bur Oak (quercus macrocarpa) marked the northernmost point of the portage trail, which connected the Cuyahoga (whose coarse was once much closer to the tree) and Tuscarawas rivers. The Erie, Seneca, Shawnee, Ottawa, Delaware and Mingo tribes traveled to the Ohio River by this route. They removed their canoes from the Cuyahoga River here and carried them overland for eight miles--south to Summit Lake. Later, white settlers used the same signal tree to find their way between the rivers."
While Mom and I sat admiring this tree, a bald eagle circled high in the air above us. We watched until it flew off and became a dark speck in the clear blue sky.
Still dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, Mom and I took a trip to Cuyahoga Valley to again see the fall color (sadly, not as extravagant as it could have been) and enjoy some time away from home.
The Signal Box Inn, Cleethorpes, lays claim to being the smallest pub in the world. Its internal floor space is just six sq. metres but it is nevertheless a fully functional pub.

“Traffic signals, essential for road coordination, trace their origins back to 1868 when the first gas-lit signal was installed in London. In the early 1900s, Lester Wire's electric traffic light revolutionized urban traffic management. The first four-way and three-colored traffic lights, including amber, were introduced in 1920 by William Potts in Detroit. Computerization in the 1960s marked a significant leap, allowing traffic lights to be controlled and adapted based on real-time traffic, weather conditions, and emergencies. Today, computers play a crucial role in enhancing road safety by predicting and efficiently managing traffic flow worldwide”

Interesting use of one signal pole to provide three directions of signal heads.
Something tells me that the guy who designed this signal had previously designed a lot of diagonal spanwire signals.

A signal key used for signalling up to the haulage engine driver to raise, lower or stop the drams. Signals were usually as follows;
1 - Stop
2 - Lower
3 - Raise
This is the last part of the ex-Rock Island mainline that has these types of signals, all others have been replaced by newer style signals.
