Abandoned signal
Title:  Abandoned signal
Description:  This signal is along the former CA&C, which became the Akron Branch, and abandoned by CR in 1996. This line's future is murky, however, US Rail's website claims they own this line and operate trains on it, even though the growth on and around the very hard to find rails shows otherwise.

New Safetrans
Title:  New Safetrans
Description:  The signal on the right has been there for a few years, however the one on the left is fairly recent, which shows that the days of the CPL's are growing smaller and smaller.

Permissive CPL
Title:  Permissive CPL
Description:  The signal at MP 124.7 has always been a favorite of mine, maily because of the hugely tall mast it is on and the yellow marker light.

Bi-directional CPL's
Title:  Bi-directional CPL's
Description:  These signals are found well south of the Akron Yard, where thedouble track main is bi-directional. The old Amtrak station can be seen in the distance. This picture is taken from the former EL right of way through Akron. Not sure who the random man in the photograph is by the signals, but he was watching me very carefully and suspiciously.
