CSX did a piecemeal job in Lima making the Toldeo-Cincinnati Line bi-directional... The "wrong mains" were upgraded with Safetrans while the "right mains" retained their high CPL signals. |

Position Light |
| Description: |
An approach-lit position light signal protects the CF&E diamond with the I&O. This signal was a PC/CR installation, put in before the second track was removed (hence why most signals on this line are only found on one side of the ROW). This particular signal also had two heads at one time. |

Abandoned position light |
| Description: |
One of the many casualties of Amtrak's removal of service from the Ft. Wayne Line in the early 90s. This particular signal not only had its head turned sideways, the entire mast was turned sideways, which means the mast bolts were loosened and the mast turned and the bolts tightened. |

| Description: |
CF&E's Lima Yard. The CF&E runs the show a little different than Conrail did, in that CF&E even stores cars on the main line. The signal bridge was a later CR addition, when CR was putting position lights on modern aluminum brackets. The signal is now dark. |
