In Ken Kraemer's LV bok, there is a photo on page 55 of two LV trains passing under a large signal bridge in Geneva. Where was that bridge? Was it south of Rt. 5 and north of Geneva Jct.? It looks like the bridge is still there on google maps with the signal heads.

If this is the right location, is that the last signal bridge on the LV in NY still standing? Thanks.

The signal bridge was the e/b home signal for Geneva Jct. M.P. 342.1. Mostly hid by current brush and tree growth, it is about 400 yards or so west of NY Rt. 96A and roughly about 100 yards south of Rts. 5 & 20. It is adjacent to Seneca Lake State Park and one can walk to a point very close to the structure without tresspassing on the FGLK.

So far as recollect goes, seems that it is the last LVRR signal bridge in NYS.

Thanks TB. I saw the "ghost Signal" thread after posting this and realized it was the same signal.
