IROQUOIS-WASHINGTON PRESERVATION COMMITTEE

KENTLAND, IN

Sheltered in Sheldon Anyone that knows me at this point knows I am always after old school signals, and my visit to the KBS was not without seeking out this exact thing. KBS is cool for a number of reasons - power, trackage, grain elevators and other infrastructure, but they roster a few old signals. The small town of Sheldon, IL has managed to keep four Type G trilight-style signals, a New York Central staple, sheltered nicely. Though they look very well-worn, all of these old signals are still operable and earning their keep as they protect the KBS / TP&W diamond in the middle of town. Interestingly, the south-facing signal still here has the mount for a second head, but lacks the head itself, long ago removed.

With good light, good power, and good signals, I was a very happy man. Matter of fact, I believe these are the first old school trilights I've ever shot, which was nice to be able to cross off my list. Sure can't complain about all that! My main goal accomplished, I had no other planned shots after Sheldon, making the rest of my KBS adventure another exercise in making things up on the fly. A fun way to do things, to be sure!
