Well it's not down yet, but the on again/off again replacement of B&O CPLs between Cincinatti and Hamilton, OH is on again as evidence of new signal structures are in place. That this signal lasted so long is somewhat of a surprise as a more modern adjacent CPL location was replaced some years ago. I recommend that anyone in the area make a pilgrimage and capture it before it is gone. The signal is not only interesting as a B&O CPL cantilever, but also because all 4 signals have a 10 o'clock orbital.

It has been taken down as of Thursday, October 19th. It may have happened a day or two prior to that, but I first noticed it on the 19th. I am sad to see it go!
