Below, a 1983 photo of a large signal bridge over the New York Central line on the west side of Saginaw.  This bridge, which originally controlled at least two of the four lines, still has one target signal in place.  Note the large bases which held the wiring for the former semaphore signals.  Today, such wire boxes are a fraction of the size, or simply non-existent.  [Jim Slater photograph]
