Cool, didn't know those signals were still out there. Maybe they will come back to life with this new CN/NS/WTNN traffic arrangement

It looks like an older signal was next to it.

I would say they would hay to use the signals if any trains other than WTNNs run on the line. My uncle used to run trains on this line when it was ICG. He retired a few years ago with CN. Used to work between Fulton and Memphis and out of Jackson.

BTW these signals that are sideways have been there as far as I can remember. I remember when they were acually lit, probably when NS operated the line.

Siding length was 5659 ft. This was known as "West" on the ICG timetables.
