Ensenberger Furniture store This beautiful building has been fully restored to showcase it's grand stairways, marble floors, and it's gorgeous 1920's decor. Opened in 1926, the G.A.

All The Way Though I wasn't initially planning on it, I quickly found myself chasing CN5738 down the Gilman sub to Clinton, home of one of the handful of sets of US&amp;S P5 signals. The train has slowed on its approach towards town, making capturing it splitting the old signals a simple task. With the right-most signal being mounted on a completely rusted through semaphore mast that's probably five times older than I am, it's a wonder how it still stands today.

To think, what started as just a brief outing to see if the claims about Gilman's power was true (hint: they were), ended up becoming a long day as I went all the way down the sub to catch a train at three very special sets of signals. Quite a day indeed.
