I just have one for now, but I'm sure I'll have more later.....
I was on the Conway Senic the other day and I noticed a yellow sign ( not the RR crossing one...) along the tracks. It was a rectangle and it was either pointing into the tracks or away from the tracks. Anyone know what it means?? If no one knows what I'm talking about I can try to describe it better but I'm hoping someone knows.
Thanks

If it was a small one, and nailed to a tree or a stake it may have been a snowmoblie trail marker. Just a thought.

Were you near a crossing? Some places have whistle 'posts' that are yellow equilateral triangles with a black fringe.
Facing the tracks or not? Not on a switch stand, was it? Maybe those slanty looking flange markers? Or are those the whistle posts? I don't know... just a couple of suggestions... Old speed limit sign?
I actually have a picture of one... It's not on my computer yet but it might make it easier to identify.
I don't think it was a whistle sign because they had the white ones with the W on them for that. Unless it was an old whistle sign.......
Hopefully the picture will clarify everything... I'll have it up soon
Thanks guys

yup, some are orange/yellow/red ext
they tell a plow operator to lift the blade up for a switch/crossing ext as not to tear to hole blade off the car.

Thanks LIRRNOVA55. I'm glad you had a picture of it cuz for some reason I couldn't find the one I thought I had. Not that it's a life or death piece of information... I was just curious... and now I know.
