Harrington Seaberg
|
|
This is one of the oldest 12 light four way signals in this collection. A guess would have this signal being made in the 1920's. That is just a guess though. Harrington Seaberg eventually became Eagle Signal. Eagle had operations in Moline Illinois at one time and the round port hole doors on this signal also say Moline Illinois on them. There are a lot of similarities between this signal and other signals of this era. The roof is a perfect match to the roof on the Darley 4 way beacon in this collection. The four sides of this signal are each one solid panel, not sections like four ways that were made later. Darley signals had port hole doors that had to be completely removed from the signal in order to change a light bulb. The port hole doors on this signal have hinges, preventing the signal tech from accidentally dropping the door on the ground. Most of the command lenses in this signal are Crouse Hinds lenses, but they fit the era of this signal. Put your mouse on the picture to make the signal sequence.
