What the heck....here's another one. And in color too! They even burned the later model all steel streetcars for scrap! This one is shown still in service on the Oregon City line in 1957 and was toasted in 1959. Note the 57,000 volt power line with multipart insulators. Relax mudhounds, they are worthless Ohio Brass M-3620's;) However, the U.S. Signal antique hanging on the pole showing red is quite valuable today. We have some in the collection at the Oregon Electric Railway Museum. For more pix of this type of signal, click NEXT.
