ON THE HP&F LINE ABOUT 1/2 MILE WEST OF ONECO CT THERE IS A SHORT ROCK CUT AND TOWARDS IT'S WEST END, SOUTH SIDE, THERE IS A SMALL CONCRETE FOOTING WITH STUDS CUT OFF NEAR FLUSH. SEEMS TO HAVE HAD A SIGINAL OF SOME TYPE THERE. DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHAT TYPE OF SIGNAL IT WAS? IT SEEMS TO BE OLDER THAN THE CONCRETE WORK I HAVE SEEN AROUND FROM THE 20'S AT OTHER PLACES. WAS IT THE APPROACH SIG FOR STERLING STA? WHEN DID THE SIGNALS COME OUT? ALSO IT IS A GREAT LINE TO WALK
