I am new here and have been reading these forums for years.
My question is, Why did New York Central in the late 50's place their G style signals in such a way?
Top signal centered and then second G signal below placed slightly to the right for a particular track. My only
conclusion is, that is the way the earlier original semaphores were placed. They were bigger so as one would not
block the view of the another. MOW just mounted the new G's that way because it was easy, or was there a more important reason?
I notice that new Conrail installs where mounted perfectly vertical.
Thanks to anyone who replies and I love all the information y'all impart.
