BNSF Bellingham Slump Detectors

Slump detectors are filled with a liquid and a sensor. If the hillside slips out the liquid drains out and the sensor turns all approaching signals red.

 

The track at this location was moved farther away from the cliff to its current location in the early 1960's.
