A recent photo from the former LVRR ROW through Phillipsburg:
Former Signal Bridge resting on the ground
When I first saw the structure laying on the ground, it immediately reminded me of the Statue of Liberty scene in 'Planet of the Apes'. I was quite surprised to see that so much was left behind on this ROW by Conrail. Signals, signal structures, control boxes, rails, and ties can all be found there. The supports for the signal in the above photo actually lay in the woods about thirty feet from the signal bridge itself.
An older photo of a still standing signal bridge can be seen here:
Former Signal Bridge, still standing

But where were they going without ever knowing the way?
