Old IRT home signals

Posted by SUBWAYMAN on Thu Oct 11 02:04:22 2018

When did the TA started to phase out the old-style IRT home signals? I know they were last phased out in the mid-2000s.

the IRT had semaphore signals at East 180th St yard up until that time as well - I saw them right outside the maintenance building. The old style home signal was there at the north end of the middle track station platform. I do not know when they were removed, but mid-2000s was about right. Livonia Ave. was the location for another semaphore signal - it was at the end of the platform at what I think was the yard lead. Another one was on the south-bound local track between Moshulu Parkway and Bedford Park Blvd., but it was gone by the sixties.

The last of the IRT Home signals lasted until around August or September of 2017 on the Dyre Avenue Line.

Isn't there one on "display" at Coney Island on the catwalk to the elevator at the end of the D train platform?
