The new signals are being cut-over one interlocking at a time for the most part, working west from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh. On Sunday June 9th, the signals of the famed West Slope between CP MO in Cresson and CP SO in South Fork were scheduled to be removed from service. I cleared my schedule to go see this cutover, but plans changed. A large derailment in Ohio had caused a backlog of rail traffic, so NS pushed the cut-over to Monday. Having nothing on my schedule, I was fortunate enough to be able to spend Sunday as an unexpected day to photograph every signal on this stretch of the mountain and use Monday to watch several signals fall. Enjoy the photos and videos below.
