Semaphores at Clayburn, BC
This is where the CPR's Mission BC-Sumas USA branch crosses the old BC Electric interurban (now Southern Rwy of BC, owned by MRL). I can't think of anyplace else that still uses semaphores. The little shed used to be used by BCE crews to turn the signals against the CPR. Once the signals were so aligned, the shed door locked, and the brakeman could not get out until the signals were reset for the CPR!
