The Traffic Signal Museum

First is a Crouse Hinds type D 4 way in West Alexandria, Ohio on US 35.

These photos were taken on 04-05-05. As can be seen in some of the photos, this signal is a school signal and it was in flash mode when I took these photos. The visors on this signal are cast/one piece with the doors. Some of the lenses were original smiley lenses. The third picture shows a side of the 4 way that faces a house so the bulbs were left out and it does not light up.

On July 23, 2005 I drove through Fostoria, Ohio and found 3 or 4 Crouse Hinds D/DT 4 ways and a Crouse Hinds M. They were also single light intersections! Below are pics of 2 of the D/DTs and the M.

Here is the first one I found...

Then I found this one...

...and here is the type M...

The type M 4 way is controlled by a Crouse Hinds KS controller. It even has the 1/2 second dark period between light changes that the KS controllers are known for.

On the same day, I also drove through the town of Greenwich and found this Eagle beacon used as a fire signal.

The next photos below were taken by John Peters. Thanks John for your help with this page!

First is a group of 4 ways from Tipp City. Here we see 3 Sargent Sowell 4 ways and an Eagle 4 way.

The Type M Crouse Hinds 4 way pictured below was located on Rte. 68 in Northridge.
It has since been removed from service.

Next is a 4 way wig-wag beacon on OH 503 in Lewisburg. It is also a Crouse Hinds type M.

Here is an early Southern Autoflow 4 way. It served on US 68 in Dunkirk. It was sold on Ebay in May of 2006. John Peters, who took the photo, won the auction! The auction stated the signal was removed from service in June of 2005.

Next is a Crouse Hinds type M found in Delpos.

Below are three old signals in New Philadelphia.

Here we have a Crouse Hinds DT and DT beacon.

	The signals above are very old so they had to be included here. They are solid bodies with port hole doors. They were made by Crouse Hinds. These two signals came out of service in 2011. They are now displayed at the New Philadelphia signal shop.

Below are some 4 ways that were found in Van Wert.

An Eagle.

A pair of Eagles.

A pair of Crouse Hinds Ds.

Another pair of Crouse Hinds 4 ways, one M and one D.

Finally, here is another Crouse Hinds DT signal from West Jefferson, on route 40. Note the unusual visors.

The next pictures were taken by Marc W. Lowe. Thank you Marc for your help with this page!

First is an Crouse Hinds Art Deco 4 way cluster from Fostoria. 
Somehow I missed this signal when I took the pictures of the fixed face 4 way signals in Fostoria in 2005.

Next Marc visited Ravenna and found these 3 Crouse Hinds 4 ways and a WAIT lens in a pedestrian signal!
The pedestrian signals appear to be TSI heads.

Next we have some photos from the suburbs of Cleveland that were taken by Ryan K. 
Ryan noted that all of the signals photographed by him have since been removed from service. 

Thanks for your help with this page Ryan!

Here are a couple of beautiful GE 4 ways.

Next we have a Crouse Hinds 4 way that still has some command lenses in it!!! You can see the GO lens in the photo below.

Next is another Crouse Hinds 4 way.

Finally, Ryan shares this rare cluster. A 6-way of Crouse Hinds Art Decos!

On 5-19-07 a group of 8 signalfans including myself toured around central Ohio and found the following classic signals in the communities of Apple Creek, Midvale, New Philadelphia, Dover and Coshocton. 
A special thanks to Jay for making the tour possible.

Here is a Darley 4 way beacon and a single face Darley beacon. Unfortunately, they were not flashing. Either the bulbs are burned out, or the power has been turned off.

Below is a pair of 4 ways in Midvale, one Crouse Hinds and one Sargent Sowell.

UPDATE! The two Midvale 4 ways were taken down in May of 2013, outfitted with LED modules, given a fresh coat of paint and rehung! 
That's two more 4 ways staying in service for years to come!!! Refurbish courtesy of Mark, Jay and Phil!!! Photos courtesy of Joe C.

Next is a single Crouse Hinds 4 way surrounded by a couple of 2 way clusters.

Here are some single face GE round bodies. These were a real surprise to see in Ohio.

Below are 3 separate Marbelite 4 ways that were found, as well as one more Crouse Hinds 4 way.

The last Marbelite 4 way shown above left was set up so that the factory seen behind it could stop traffic when trucks would need access in or out of the factory. It is dark on the side shown because there is nothing facing that side of the signal.
