“A few months ago, circumstances forced upon the attention of the Semaphore Baptist church and congregation the necessity of securing a new place of worship combining in itself the following advantages:— 1. A better and more prominent site. 2. A more substantial and permanent building. 3. Enlarged accommodation. The present wooden chapel was built four years ago in a narrow side street. During this winter it has been found only large enough for ordinary morning congregations, and it became a serious question how friends who visit the seaside could be accommodated in the summer. . . The building is to be constructed of Dry Creek stone, with cement dressings, and the style is that often adopted by Baptists and generally known as ‘tabernacle style’.” [Advertiser 28 Nov 1882]

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.
Number 3 rolls down the track profile - two more sets of semaphores occur in the next few miles, an intermediate set and a three signal set at the east siding switch at Wagon Mound.
