A truly ancient signal
|
Remsen and White streets
This unusual pagoda-style signal, located in the business district of
Cohoes, may rank with the blinker at State University of New York at Brockport
as one of the very oldest signals in New York state. Its cutaway visors
and Wurlitzer look suggest that it may date from the 1930s, or possibly
earlier. The street scene is modern, judging from the streetlights and
cars.

Up Close and Personal
This signal is no relic from “The Twilight Zone.” It has modern
LED lenses. It appears to be a green-colored signal; however, yellow appears
on the visors. A special THANK YOU to Francis Khoury for providing this
site with the information on this signal: This is a Mabelite unit. Visit
his site at New Jersey Signals.
Similar signals existed in the hometown of Frank Sinatra, Hoboken, NJ,
as late as 1991. Photos taken 4 July 2002.

A signal in Technicolor—or the Spirit of
’76? We don’t know.

One beauty that has not changed in over 60 years!
