    High Green

    Santa Fe's US&S style T-2 upper quadrant semaphores still protect parts of the original main line through New Mexico. As ABS signals, their default indication is clear...and unfortunately, clear also usually describes the original main over Glorieta and Raton Passes these days. All was...

This is just for smerks; the photo is from 1989, which disqualifies it from the...
