ARSENAL Re-Signaling Underway & PENN Interlocking News

As I previously reported Rule 562 signaling is going up at ARSENAL interlocking and I made an effort to actually get a photo of the offending signal that you can seen below.


Unfortunately SEPTA is also moving forward on the replacement of the northbound PL signals for movements coming from PHIL interlocking.  At this point the track #2 signal (rightmost) had already been replaced by a color light temporarily displaying a full range of indications. I suspect that the southbound LED Amber PL's and the Northbound West Chester PLs will remain until the new interlockings are cut over as those signals are completely redundant in the new configuration.

In other Philly news the Ersatz L&W brand PRR pedestal signals seen in SEPTA's BROAD interlocking complex have migrated to Amtrak's PENN interlocking on the north side.  I wasn't able to get a photo at this point, but I'll try in the future. In other news PENN interlocking was down for at least 3 weeks following Hurricane Ida with all points immobilized and all signals set to Stop and Proceed.


Operations were running as follows.  Northbounds on 4, Southbounds on 5. Harrisburg Line Inbound lined to 9, Harrisburg Line Outbound lined to 7. NJTs & Keystones running via No. 3 Berry, so it looks like ZOO tower got to save the day 😏
