These are the three semaphores at the west siding switch at Levy, New Mexico. The Raton Line is BNSF, historic AT&SF track and presently used by the Southwest Chief, Amtrak Trains 3 and 4. This sequence shows signals responding to the approach of westbound number 3, the train passing through the signals and then the signals clearing. The semaphore protecting the west end of the siding is always in stop position.
