BX signals  Contributor's Pick!       
This set of signals was at the south end of Bevier St, though they controlled Lackawanna trains. Two of the three are now out of service. The two left most signals protected what was once a diamond crossing of the DLW, which came up from BD-the track in the distance-and crossed the D&H here. The middle signal protected the D&H at the same point, on their line coming up from their station, which was (and is) at Chenango St. The right most signal protects the DLW crossing with the Erie at BD, and at the date of the photo, is still in service. The DLW and D&H crossed just out of the photo at a location known as BX, by this time converted to a set of crossovers, with the D&H continuing into Bevier St and then up to Belden Hill. The DLW line went north to YO yard, just north of the diamond, and long abandoned at this time. The Utica Branch continued north, running parallel to, but lower than, the D&H as far as Chenango Bridge. All of these signals are now long gone, as CP reconfigured the south end of Bevier St after they took over in 1990.
