Jake here is a batch of photos from the work session where we installed the replica semaphore you see today. One of the guys on our team took on the construction of a replica of the Harrington signal that was there before. We added the blades/flags and built a LED lantern that should be on between 4:30 till 10:30 each night. Even though the section house never had any blades in the Rio Grande days, we felt that having them with an operational light better told the story of how it was used in the day.

The signal is operational, (or at least was during the rotary trip this spring when I checked it). Sorry about the extra photos as I don't know how to separate them out. 2016 Friends work session
